This latter-day version of the white-slave trade-the pimps themselves call it that-is already building to its annual summer peak. One of the pimps, a lean, 23-year-old Viet Nam veteran, sipped his beer in a Third Avenue dive and explained his recruitment and training program to TIME Correspondent James Willwerth: "She just walked up to me and my partner in Washington Square and we started talking. My partner is 'processing' her now. You've got to find out if they've got problems, if they're smart enough...

This is a stern, bizarre sect founded in 1934 as the Radio Church of God by Garner...
Land's stockholders may have to cherish their more intangible rewards for some time. Although Polaroid's first-quarter profits grew by a healthy 17% over those of 1971, Treasurer Harvey Thayer has predicted that the rest of 1972 will be a "lean year," partly because of the huge sums of cash required for production of the new camera. Yet Land, who literally invented the $540 million instant-photography market, displayed profound confidence in his latest product.
