...time-past time-to say something nice about Paul Newman. Of course, he has been well loved for his blue eyes and his cheeky style by a couple of generations of women. But aside from his roles in The Hustler, various pairings with Robert Redford and one or two other films, he has not been taken seriously by critics and other sobersides. That is understandable, since it is possible that no major U.S. star has endured more indifferent movies (beginning with his 1954 debut in The Silver Chalice) than...
Last week it appeared that the violence may have claimed yet another American: John J. Sullivan Jr., 26, a freelance journalist from Bogota, N.J., on assignment for Hustler magazine. Sullivan, who had previously spent a year in Rio de Janeiro, checked into the Sheraton six days before the slayings in the dining room.

I think the school system has an obligation to set standards and to set curriculum...
Lang concedes that the school system's concern for its authority is important. But he was not teaching Hustler or Playboy. Lang believes that his rights and responsibilities as a teacher take precedence in this case. If the seven-member Montgomery County school board agrees with him, Lang could be reinstated in January, although he will no doubt be assigned to a different school after so much controversy. A decision against him could mean five months without pay. If that happens Lang plans to fight in the courts, if necessary, for reinstatement. "I made a premeditated, intellectual decision...
