lest a pride of nude offend some readers, say that our failure to run such a feature before was due neither to false modesty nor to lack of nerve on our part but from a feeling that such photos, if they are to appear in ONE MAGAZINE, should complement the entire issue. HOMOSEXUALITY: 25 QUESTIONS.... 14

FOR M.S., by Adrian Stanford... 16 Arkansas Williams cartoon...... 16

In lieu of an editorial, both of our editors being already represented in this issue, we print the following introduction to the leaflet issued by the Institute for the Study of Human Resources, "Homosexuality 25 Questions & Answers," the full text of which appears on page 14.

Magazine articles, books, news reporting, movies and public discussions of homosexuality are so plentiful today as to indicate a genuine public concern about the subject and a desire better to understand it. However, the laymen has difficulty in finding simple, straightforward answers to many of his questions readily available in convenient form.

To help fill this need the following pamphlet has been prepared by a panel of highly qualified social scientists and specialists, each of whom has studied homosexuality extensively and at least one of whom is himself homosexual. In addititon to his study, each of the panelists has done much interviewing and counseling work with male and female homosexuals, gaining thereby a broad insight into the attitudes and behavior patterns of several thousand such persons.

The aim of this publication is to replace misconceptions and fears about homosexuality with a better understanding of the subject. It is hoped that this will result in improved and more humane attitudes toward those men and women for whom homosexuality is their way of life and effect a better integration into society of such individuals, many of whom are worthwhile and useful people. Such a goal would seem to be preferable to the traditional practice of alienating them and increasing the numbers of individuals who are a burden upon society.
