Another house in an old section of the city was priced a little more modestly but a place six blocks. from the Presidential Palace was really high class. Members of the diplomatic corps, successful business men and celebrities patronized it. The proprietor made a great deal of money from the enterprise before his death some years ago.

After Castro's revolution the boy business kept right on flourishing in Havana. It appears that very soon after the uncertainties of the revolution homosexual love in Havana went back to "business as usual." But now Castro is talking more foolishness than ever and the newsreels show pickets in U.S. protesting Castro's treatment of Cuban homosexuals.

Quite different the story out of Texas of a kindly, well-to-do high school teacher who on his death left a considerable fortune to cultural and civic betterment, as well as the welfare of elderly school teachers. Honored and eulogized by public acclaim his unwritten obituary was marked in the memory of "many a high school young stud for at least last twenty years," so a correspondent writes.

Did the well-known education journal, then, know what it was doing when it printed recently a large ad for a place noted from Coast to Coast as one of "The places"? Perhaps so, for what would this country be without its fine, hardworking and conscienti-

homosexual school-teachers? There are none better. America one day may wake up to realize how much it owes these hordes of upstanding men and women.

Retired University of Chicago Archaeologist, Dr. S. C. Gilfillan contends that too much lead from earthen-ware dishes, wine, grape syrup and preserved fruits in the diet of the ancient Roman aristocracy, (evidence discovered from teeth and bones in their remains) led to the fall of Rome. "This poisoning not only emaciated the hierarchy but cut their reproduction capacity to one fourth of what was needed to sustain the race." And here we were just getting used to the idea that homosexuality was what brought about the "decline and fall." What won't they discover next?

At any rate old Rome still is at a good many things these days, or so it seems. For what else can one conclude about a city where matters are so plainly understood that to fondle the rear end of a car a little over-ostentatiously, along with a meaningful glance, can lead to arrest as being public indecency?

We now learn that farther to the east, Kemal Ataturk, more or less the George Washington of modern Turkey, in his headlong career chased after pretty young men and prostitutes with an impartiality that would perhaps be thought very prudent for a leader seeking to unify his country favoritism to none, something for everyone.
