interviewed have been part of a couple for four years or more. Only two percent appeared to have noticeably masculine characteristics. Two thirds rarely engage in sexual activity

Gregory Battcock reported on "Homosexuality in the Arts" and made the point that often attacks so phras-

ed are in reality merely means of attacking modern art movements with a convenient weapon. Margaret Lew is, is researching state legislative attitudes toward sex-law reform and reported that progress is slow where it exists at all.

Cap and Bells

I am the jester in the court where also

I am the king. And the king loathes the jester,

Has heard his jokes a thousand times, his japes

And, worst of all, his bleak apologies.

The king is sick, sick of the jester, sick

Of the cracked voice, the cracked grin, the tongue

Lolling, the crossed eyes, and the donkey's bray But the Jester cannot stop his jesting

Unless the king commands him, and the king

Will not, because the jester is as much

The king as is the king the jester and,

Like all of us, the king fears his own funeral.
