...West Virginia disk jockey who was serving a one-to-ten-year sentence for a morals offense with a consenting teen-age girl. Another notable success involved a campaign against entrapment tactics practiced by?no, not the CIA but, of all agencies, the Post Office. Seems that postal inspectors were in the habit of placing an ad in a newspaper to the effect that one "swinger" would like to meet another. When letters were exchanged, the unsuspecting hedonist might include a nude photograph or two?whereupon the police arrived and arrested him.* Bowing to a Playboy-organized protest movement...

...Need for Lessons." In the mountain villages of the Kabylia region, once-fierce tribesmen wait like famished eagles for postal checks from sons and nephews working in France. The once-flourishing port of Oran is almost idle, and at the nearby town of Arzew, heralded as one of Algeria's leading new industrial zones, building sites still lie empty because of the shortage of foreign capital. To add to the misery, farm land in western Algeria has been burned black by the worst drought in a decade, cutting the year's grain supply in half...
