...Bartholin glands flanking the vagina. In fact, says Dr. Masters, the normal cervix secretes nothing of any importance; the Bartholin glands secrete only a minute quantity of lubricant. According to Dr. Masters, the vaginal walls themselves supply nearly all the vaginal lubricant. How they do so is unclear, since there are no glands in the vaginal walls, and this is a subject of continuing study...
...made punishable under English common law; not until 1 957 did the U.S. Supreme Court hold that it was not covered by the First Amendment guarantees of free speech and press. But even in that decision (Roth v. U.S.), which upheld a federal obscenity statute, the court was clearly unclear about the "dim and uncertain" line between obscenity and protected expression.

...such touches as a Hammacher-Schlemmer electric cannibal pot in which Sally is cooked, offstage, although she is eaten onstage.

The play's intent is unclear, and could easily be interpreted as anti-Negro, though I certainly never intended...
...alcoholics under treatment, and so far has found similar results. In New York, Dr. J. Martin Semer, who is making a parallel study, reports with enthusiasm: "This is the first indication that a chemical can do anything more than make a patient sick when he drinks." Metronidazole, for still unclear reasons, mounts a two-pronged attack, working on both the mind and the body. Like Antabuse, it can leave a drinker violently nauseated, but before that happens it cuts down on alcohol desire and helps to make a sober life more palatable...
...PORNOGRAPHY. Is Fanny Hill obscene? No, said New York's highest state court. Yes, said comparable courts in Illinois, New Jersey and Massachusetts. All of them used the Supreme Court's clearly unclear guidelines, such as whether pornography has "redeeming social interest." Now the learned Justices must curl up with Fanny Hill and subjectively decide for themselves-a chore that the American Civil Liberties Union urges them to give up entirely by declaring that all published material is protected by the First Amendment unless it creates a "clear and present danger" of antisocial conduct. The A.C.L.U. makes...
