Editorial Note
The temptation to cry 'Old Hat' when writers suggest features on Nymphomania or
Groupies is overwhelming and ever present, so rest assured that our excursions
into these subjects are worth more than a cursory glance. Adrian Henri, that international
poet of Liverpudlian fame, gives vent to his well known penchant for demure damsels
of tender years in Foxy Babies (page 38). Nymphomania, an affliction beloved of
the more scurrilous journals and much misunderstood, is carefully examined by
James Thorenne (page 22).
In an age where commercialised horror has reached manic proportions, it seems
appropriate to look at the fuller figures behind the fangs and leer at the sexuality
which is an ever-increasing ingredient in the film mogul's formula for filling
coffins with box office receipts (see page 68 for further, tool-chilling details).
Charles Manson is the kind of real-life figure that makes Hammer's gruesome characters
into good wholesome escapism. We have a personal reminiscence (on page 88) from
someone who met Charlie, and his girls, and lived with them long before the Tate
murders blew the lid off his hippy paradise.
Regular afficianados of these priceless pages will notice that our star interview
features a director instead of a film star. A logical step, since films are known
as much by their directors as their stars these days—and who more than Norman
Jewison! In the Heat of the Night, The Cincinnati Kid, Jesus Christ—Superstar,
The Thomas Crown Affair and (soon) Roller Ball. A pedigree worthy of Crufts!
Next month sees our anniversary issue and the return of our original cover girl,
Stephanie Marion. Since she first graced our engaging pages, she has gone on to
appear in the two top selling national dailies, numerous other Men's magazines
who followed our lead with slavish sycophancy, and a movie. Next month she returns
in triumph in one of the sexiest pictorials it has ever been my privilege to publish.
Incidentally if you haven't brought a Game calendar yet you are not only depriving
us of callously required profits but also yourselves of an ardent romp through
some of the finest pubic acreage at 95p.
