THE WEEK

• The pornographers in the movie business have got themselves a new Imprimatur—so to speak. They appear to have found a way to certify that the movie inside is really as sexy as the posters outside. We refer to an advertisement that appeared recently in the Washington Post as shill for a film on marital relations. The ad spoke boldly of “scenes formerly restricted to medical books” which could now be viewed on the screen for the first time—“made possible by the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling!”

• New Yorkers who were having trouble assessing the qualifications of Harriman and Rockefeller to govern New York State were given two compelling reasons for voting for the latter in a climactic radio build-up last week. Rockefeller, it develops, is the man “responsible for bringing the United Nations to New York” and the man who “did everything humanly possible to keep the Dodgers here.” What more can we expect of a governor? one might ask. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
