...Thousand Words--One footnote to the Dartmouth story: In the spirit of a free press, Shim said he would be kind enough to fax The Crimson vital information about Freedman's candidacy. Shim subsequently faxed over a photograph of a naked woman apparently taken from a recent issue of Playboy. Good to see The Review is upholding its commitment to high quality journalism...
Kevin's first reaction is ecstasy. He turns his parents' bed into a trampoline, devours mountains of ice cream, looks at the forbidden photos in Playboy ("No clothes on anybody. Sickening"). His excitement wanes with the daylight, however, all the more so since most of the neighbors on his affluent block have also gone away for the holidays. What most scares a child?

That falloff is mirrored among women's magazines...
...PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD. How near in time, and how far in world view, is the village life portrayed in J.M. Synge's masterpiece about ignorant peasants and their perverse notions of heroism, all of it a sly satire on the yearning of oppressed colonies to break free. The finest Irish drama of the 20th century, it is discerningly performed by the Abbey Theater of Dublin, at Washington's Kennedy Center through Oct. 21, then in St. Louis, Tucson and Ann Arbor, Mich...
