EDITORIAL
Summer - when green fields fill with rolling lovers and towns fill with half-naked
secretary birds trying to get a Mediterranean tan as they munch sandwiches and
drink coffee. It's just the time to get out and about, visit the parks and fairs,
although according to Enzo d'Amberni country fairs ain't wot they used to be,
as he points out in All the Fun of the Fairs. He reckons that fairground ladies
in the Good Old Days were sexier, randier and gave a worthwhile prize for bowling
their coconuts over. Sexy ladies had a more bizarre appeal to Charles Manson,
the notorious American killer. Women, according to him, were the slaves of men,
and should do anything to please their masters - even murder, as our feature Design
for Death shows. The oldest profession in the world is the last thing that you
would normally associate with the Trades Union Movement, but in A Girl's Got To
Eat, Philip Cleife suggests that a more militant - and more organised - approach
to selling sex could lead to happier times for all. It almost comes off, if you
see what we mean. The name of the game in One For The Road, is not staying alive,
but making sure you enjoy living. Anthea Linacre describes the joys and pitfalls
of Singles Bars in the Land of Opportunity, the U.S. of A. In the Olympic Games,
all men are of equal opportunity but, Tony Slinn asks, is it all now passé?
And our lovely ladies will ensure that the summer feeling of freedom never leaves
your heart.
