  • Male homosexuality remains illegal in both parts of Ireland: what is being done to change this? A Chopin recital sounds perfect for the Assembly Hall in Tunbridge Wells… except when CHE is organising it. Schering Chemicals boasts about its new drug that can ‘cure’ homosexuals. Good luck with that. The Secretary of State for Education is making a list, he’s checking it twice, he’s gonna find out who’s a gay teacher or not.

    Reviews include Stanley Weintraub’s Whistler: A Biography, a revival of Hair at the Queens, and Another Time, Another Place by Brian Ferry.

  • CHE has appointed Barrie Kenyon as the new Chairman, succeeding Michael Steed. Also they’ve hired a new assistant General Secretary, Christopher Bowden-Smith. He gets a special mention here because he’s my husband.

  • Do’s and Don’ts for paranoid hets – LONDON: …”Avoid the eyes of anyone of the same sex who keeps looking at you. Don’t brush loose hair from your forehead. In some towns it’s a sign of willingness.” – page 20
