...University of Illinois' Daily Illini last month deplored excessive necking at campus parties, Biology Professor Leo F. Koch, 44, sent the newspaper a forthright, academically, free reply: "With modern contraceptives and medical advice readily available at the nearest drugstore, or at least a family physician, there is no valid reason why sexual intercourse should not be condoned among those sufficiently mature to engage in it without social consequences and without violating their own codes of morality and ethics. A mutually satisfactory sexual experience would eliminate the need for many hours of frustrating petting and lead to happier and longer...
...evil"-Dakin nonetheless finds an implied positive in each. Rape of a sister-in-law (A Streetcar Named Desire), homosexuality (Cat, etc.), cannibalism (Suddenly, Last Summer), garden-variety adultery (Orpheus Descending) and castration (Sweet Bird of Youth} may not be radiant with uplift, but "there can be no valid moral objection to the exposure of this sort of sin in human nature." The only Tennessee Williams product ever condemned by the Roman Catholic Legion of Decency, Williams' brother points out, was the film Baby Doll, and the problem there lay more in Hollywood than in Tennessee: the long...
...January, as a calculated harassment, the Russians announced that the regular Soviet passes issued to Allied missions in East Germany were no longer valid. Instead, the Russians offered new passes co-stamped by the Soviets' puppet East German state. The U.S. refused to be drawn into a trap that would amount to recognizing the legal existence of the so-called German Democratic Republic, and the battle of the passes began.

With the resumption of diplomatic ties with Bulgaria, Hungary becomes the only Eastern European country for which U.S. tourist passports are still marked "not valid" for travel. Bulgaria's capital of Sofia (pop. 700,000) is a pleasant city of broad avenues and parks, and has an Intourist-style hotel as garishly new, as poorly heated as Moscow's latest. Bulgaria itself remains Europe's second most backward nation (after Albania). Its farms are 95% collectivized, and outside observers concede that it is perhaps the one satellite nation where many peasants feel, if not happy, at least...
...Sausage Machine. The chief character in Tiger is, of course, Author King. He is occasionally graced with a valid in sight, but it is his hates that King truly prizes, and he has collected an awesome passel of them. He loathes beatniks ("clinical psychopaths, overt pansies or fulltime dope fiends") and millionaires. He detests TIME, LIFE (where he was once an associate editor) and FORTUNE, closely followed by The New Yorker ("frequently stinks up the neighborhood") and Look. Art critics are "rapacious vermin," and modern art is in a "putrescent coma." The theater world is full of "exhibitionistic freaks...
