of the world's men, and convinced that only restoration of the “natural” balance of male dominance can avert psychic disaster. He does allow that past cultural stylization of the masculine/feminine roles is insecure at the level of instinct, but not that we should do anything about that except to prop up the old illusions more securely. The male urge for domination and exploration should be sublimated to striving for status, order, abstract organization, communication and metaphysical meaning. Females, of course, are incapable of such things and can concentrate on their role of motherhood with, of course, the increased dignity offered by the power of choice inherent in the pill. But even Bernardik doesn't seem very optimistic about all this working out. Things may have gone too far - and don't I hope they have!

BOYS WILL BE GIRLS, by Erich Zorn, Monolith Book M1004, Oli- garch Publ. Co., Libertyville, Ill. 189 pp., paper, $1.95 (1969)

This is a fine example of what the N.Y. Daily News used to call "sexploitation"; even the introduction emphasizes the erotic, though adding it is "not necessarily" so. After that, he adds "the true trans- vestite is quite often a bisexual", so you have mutual cancellation of statements. The rest of the book adds to the confusion, which is quite an achievement. Scoring it my way, we find one tale of marital fetish- ism, three homosexual stories (one almost clean, but not quite), an excellent example of a drag queen who got the operation and regretted it, and two TV tales that really are almost up to our standards. One concerns a British intelligence officer in World War II and how he put TV to work on his job - Brig. A.K.S. White, reported to have been "commander of a group of impersonators". The other covers one of those fabulous "double-TV" marriages where the pseudo-girl meets up with a girl in male clothes and they live happily ever after. The author provides such loving detail on each act of intercourse that you can practically smell them, and the squeamish reader is advised to keep an air-sickness container at hand. All case histories are claimed to be actual, by the way, and the conclusion lists a number of hitherto unreported "TVs❞— Napoleon Bonaparte, Cardinal Mon- tego, Kaiser Wilhelm, and the following score of World War II pilots 6 Germans, 11 French, 16 British, 5 Greeks and 4 Americans

all shot down while femme-dressed under their flying suits. And then there was the judge in Breton, England, who sentenced a TV to five years and then dropped dead of a heart attack, right in court. His Honor was found to be wearing bloomers, bra, slip and a wedding gown under his judicial robes! The sentence was set aside, but the prisoner was caught again a month later.
