EDITORIAL NOTE
Soaring print and production costs have finally forced us, reluctantly, to increase our price to that charged by our competitors for some months. In terms of real value for money, we're still the best buy, with more colour pages and bigger pages than any quality magazine in the business! If you agree, tell your friends. If you don't, write and tell us, (but watch your handwriting) — our feature on graphology shows how your signature may disclose more than you intend. D. M. Thomas reckons that there are dangers in showing too much affection to the fairer sex in his feature Sex the Black Widow, in which the deadly Black Widow spider is seen to have some spine-chilling similarities to the way women trap their men.
From Black Widows to Black Shirts, we have a rare interview with the notorious Sir Oswald Mosley, now a retired gentleman, who talks of his past political career, and gives a few "remedies" for the present state of the nation. Fiona Richmond, Men Only's favourite lady, starts a new-style regular column this issue, but Fiona fans need not despair — it's as exciting and revealing as before.
Whipping up your interest are two specialist pieces — O, How Lovely, a lady's view of bondage by Susan Celbridge and Bound to Please, another Karl Steiner winner. Tom Sharpe, one of Britain's leading writers, contributes a hilarious story called The Doll's House — although the dolls are much larger than life. And, of course, the loveliest ladies, the best letters and funniest cartoons. It's enough to make old St Valentine give up his vows!
Tony Power.
