  • The paper clearly hoped that their survey on renting homes in the UK would reveal shocking discrimination. It didn’t, with most agencies unbothered and some positively delighted to have LGBT+ customers. The Spartan Club, a gay male venue, has closed, replaced by the mixed-sex gay club Vortex. Irish actor Wolfgang von Jurgen, born Michael St John – mentioned in the ‘special thanks’ in each issue – was found dead in the Thames. The cause of death has never been established. Reviews include Colette – The Difficulty of Loving by Margaret Crosland and Lost Horizon.

  • Cover star Tim Brand-Crombie has his name misspelled Tim Brand-Cromby in the article about him on page 5

Inflation

To obtain approximate values for money allowing for inflation, times 1972 prices by 11.5; 1973 by 10.5; 1974 by 9; and 1975 by 7.5.

For instance, £1 in 1972 is £11.50 in today’s money.
