was told that they had had no letters or calls of a complaining nature. This even surprised them because the British have habit of com-

plaining about all manner of things.

Aug. 11. Gave an interview this morning to a reporter for the Lon- don Express and had lunch with her. Found out a day later that because of the Observer article the Express didn't want to use it but she said that she was going to write it up for something else. Dinner with one of the doctors that night. Got to hotel room and just to bed about 1:30 when the phone rang. It was a reporter for a Turkish newspaper who wanted an interview. I told him I was due to leave town the follow- ing noon but he insisted as his editor had wired him from Istanboul to get an interview as a result of seeing me on the David Jacobs show the day before.

Aug. 12. So we started the day off with an early interview. Then went over and rented a small English car and drove to Brighton. Believe me driving on the wrong side of the car on the wrong side of the street with traffic rules you don't know, with highway signs you can't find or can't decipher, through one of the world's larger cities where everyone else knows where they are going and how to get there, is SOME experience. I got lost several times and had to ask or back- track but it was quite a challenge and therefore fun. Of course, as is my wont, I extracted an insight out of it all. Some guy had cut me out or done something else and my prompt and habitual reaction was some- thing, like, “Why you so and so I'll show you—” You know the typi- cal American male reaction. I started to speed up to catch him and show him and then all of a sudden sense took over and I said to my- self "look here, girl, you are driving a strange car on strange streets in a strange country and this is no time to get smart! And besides, why should you rise to the provocation of that stupid male who is out to prove his masculinity, importance and superiority over a woman driver. You aren't in that rat race any more so relax and stop acting like a stupid man." So I did and it worked. The other day here in L.A. a man was giving me his lip behind closed windows and instead of Charles giving back the same I just smiled and blew him a kiss. It was marvelous. He had no defense against that at all and you could see it. He stepped on it and got ahead of me promptly. Ah, women, they can control most everything if they only realize it and learn how. Nothing like being on the winning team.

Arriving in Brighton which is about 60 miles from London I looked up Georgina Turtle, one of the early sex changes that was written up
