"Mr. Allyn Conwell, the facile spokesman for the kidnapped Americans on TWA Flight 847 was boomed for high political office by the preposterous Miss Phyllis George on "The CBS Morning News", revealing once again the low intelligence of TV's celebrity journalists and the liberties that are allowed them in a bogus journalism devoid of standards beyond the anatomical and the tawdry." "In New London, Connecticut, a creature even more preposterous than Miss George failed in its attempt to head a local American Legion Post. "Ms. Bridgett Poi" is what euphamists call a transsexual - that is to say, a male whittled into a facsimile of a extremely troubled female, but a male nonetheless. The thing was beaten back by a vote of 23-13 and throughout the noisome campaign the press was always at pains to report the farce as if it were but one more episode in America's long march to justice: from Concord to Gettysburg, from the Birmingham bus boycott to the burning of bras in Central Park. Now it is the transsexual's conquest of the American Legion. Only the American do-gooders could have transformed human rights into a tasteless joke." "In San Diego, California, Mr. David Goodstein, former publisher of the Advocate, a homosexual rights magazine, died of bowel cancer. He left no issue."
