I've already responded to some of the comments in a slightly flamish article posted yesterday. Having cooled off a bit, I'd like to add a few factual comments. The current issue of the Mensa Bulletin (the national newsletter) contains an article on the Playboy pictorial. The article is written by one of the women who posed and explains her thoughts and feelings and those of her fellow posers on the experience, how they were chosen, why they applied, how they were treated by Playboy, etc. The article includes several of the less revealing pictures from the pictorial (does that make Mensa into a bunch of pornographers? (-: ). A friend of mine, one of the most fanatic feminists I know, had previously condemned the behavior of the women in the pictorial (the knee-jerk almost put a hole in her wall (-: ). After reading the article, she did a complete turnaround, decided the pictorial was acceptable after all, and _then_ decided to get a Playboy and see for herself what all the fuss was about. I'm _not_ going to type in the text of the article here. It's several pages typeset and I haven't got the time. Anyone who's really interested can contact their local Mensa chapter (try the white pages under Mensa) or the home office in New York (American Mensa, Ltd., 2626 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11235, (718) 376-1925). -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ The Polymath (aka: Jerry Hollombe) Citicorp(+)TTI Common Sense is what tells you that a ten 3100 Ocean Park Blvd. pound weight falls ten times as fast as a Santa Monica, CA 90405 one pound weight.
