Sir: Has it occurred to anybody the present fashion of
permissi've behaviour and its unashamed flamboyant portrayal may be self-extinguishing? If it's naughty to be naughty, naughtiness is accepted as a postulate, as the Danes have found out and, in that case, what is there in life to go for? May not humanity recognise it has had its surfeit of porn and aspire once more so that "Man's reach must exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for?" The snag is the young have got to have their experience to reach this conclusion — supposing they do — and it's in bridling their curiosity that discipline, now considered oldfashioned, is necessary, and it would appear absence of that in the home has to be replaced by the sanction of law. Is it possible this is of a temporary nature and will reverse itself in the long run, or is humanity on.the
downward road to perdition? 'backward' countries like Rhodesia look to the Old World for advice and counsel and are wondering whether we are to be given a stone instead R. oyf. Abrrmeadstr. ong
