cisco, gave a fine paper "Ethics for the Homophile." His views have been formulated during his more than a decade of service with the Mattachine Society, having included the counselling of many hundreds of homosexuals. He also has been very active in cooperating with various social service groups in the Bay Area of California which concern themselves with employment assistance for those who have been in jail, those having undesirable military discharge papers and in the counselling of disadvantaged per-

sons.

Following a short rest break during which a Friend of ONE served punch from his beautiful silver service, along with his own homemade cakes, a panel took up "The Total Human Being." Chairman was youthful Institute of Homophile Studies Instructor, Bob Earl. Another participant was the Rev. Ron Ohlson, personable young Presbyterian clergyman who has, since his work with the Committee on Religion and the Homophile, taken a leave from parish duties to complete his doctorate in psychology with a view to special service to homophiles.

Also taking part was Los Angeles attorney Herbert Selwyn, long known to West Coast audiences from his onetime position as legal counsel to the Mattachine Society. For many years Mr. Selwyn has been a valued member of the list of California attorneys known to ONE's Social Service Division to be experienced in the handling of the cases of those who have legal problems in connection with homosexuality. It was such a case, referred to him by ONE, which has become the first (see Magazine, January, 1966) to be supported by the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California under its new civil rights Policy Concerning Sexual Behavior.

Mr. Selwyn spoke not as an attorney, however, but as being deeply committed to the philosophical (and psycho-

logical) position that man is a gestalt; that it is a mistake to try to divide him into bits of this and that. He has, said Mr. Selwyn, a moral, a political, an economic, a psychological, a biological as well as many other sides to his totality. To flake off such aspects as homosexuality as representing "The Total Human Being" is a mistake, he held.

Fourth panel participant was famed author, playwright and human being Ray Bradbury. In opening he said that of his three hundred published pieces, six or eight were predominantly focussed upon homosexuality and then proceeded to tell in inimitable style, with Irish brogue and all, one of them which had appeared in Harper's Magazine a few years ago.

From then on his audience was captivated with his witty cosmopolitanism and broad tolerance for deviants of all sorts. Having worked in the arts and mingled much of his life with the oddballs, the way-outs and all the others, he found nothing especially astonishing in homosexuality. Rather, he seemed to be saying, it all comes down to a question of taste and of how people manage their homosexuality, if that is was they find within themselves.

After a breath-taking whirlwind tour through the uttermost fringes of intellectual society, with names dropping all over the place, and a slap at op art here and a slam at fashionable existentialist psuedo-intellectualism there, questions flew thick and fast from the floor. A delightful salon-inextenso atmosphere pervaded ONE's handsome Assembly Hall, all beautifully remodelled and redecorated and topped off on stage with a monstrous Mexican paper flower (gift of two Friends of ONE) which everyone agreed was Utter Camp.

Immediately at the close of the programmed Session, certainly high entertainment in itself, came the "Mad, Mad, Mad Puppets," fifteen minutes of
