Tories won the election on May 3, it
would be despite Mrs. Thatcher and
not because of her. Indeed, the polls
do show that Labor Prime Minister
James Callaghan is more popular
than the opposition leader, despite the
disenchantment with the policies of
his government. Given her public
stiffness, as symbolized by that tight-
lipped smile, it is easy to see why.

BOSTON — Masters and Johnson^..
the couple who run a kind of Ma and
Pa shop in sex research, have crossed
another threshold in their attempt to
make what was once outrageous seem
perfectly ordinary. No sooner had the
public recovered from their scientific
dissection of heterosexuality than
they moved on to the next frontier, a “
study of homosexuality.
Masters and Johnson talk about
taking turns, the fun couple has come
up with a concept that is important not
only in our sex relations but in the way
we live together They may have done
something even more revolutionary
than making the study of sex seem
pedestrian They may have put
togetherness in its place

LONDON— No one had told me that
Margaret Thatcher is really Jack
Kemp dressed up to look like Mrs.
Miniver. Nor had I been warned
before coming here to watch the
windup of the British election cam-
paign that the Tory leader has an on-
camera smile which could chill a
daffodil, a tight drawing back of the
lips that makes Jimmy Carter’s tooth-

taneous friendliness, by comparison.
Finally, no one had suggested that
the lady the polls say is only a week
away from becoming Britain's and
Europe's first female prime minister

politician she obviously is.

The rather dour husband and his
resolutely charming wife released a
study detailing how similarly "gay"

They found really only one rather

the way gay and straight couples
seemed to choreograph their sexual
experiences.
Homosexuals played out sex on a
"my turn, your turn" basis. In con-
trast, the St Louis researchers said
that male-female couples often ran
into sexual problems or ended up
unsatisfied because they were hung
up on the the otion of "our turn "

Although 4 percent of Americans
report that they were "deeply
disturbed" by the Three Mile Island
nuclear power plant accident in
Pennsylvania, a sizable 80-15 percent
majority disagrees with the
suggestion that “all nuclear power
plants should be shut down per-
manently and no more should be
allowed to be built."
A 57-40 percent majority would also
oppose the policy that "all nuclear
power plants in the country should be
closed down until the federal
government knows more about the
safety risks involved in them."

While we can’t say much for
President Carter’s proposed
energy program, or his anti-
inflation plans, we endorse and
support his recently proposed
legislation designed to protect the
privacy of individuals in (what
the president calls) an in-
formation age. -
. In announcing the proposed
privacy legislation, Carter told
Congress the package was
—desipied to halt the erosion of
personal privacy and to balance
the desire for privacy with the
information needs of business,
government and society.
“We confront threats to privacy
undreamed of 200 years ago,”
Carter said, “It is time to
establish a broad, national
privacy policy to protect in-
dividual rights in the information
age.”
In urging passage of the
proposals, many of which mirror
• those made last year by the
Privacy Protection Study
Commission, a congressionally
mandated, panel chaired by
University of Illinois professor
David Linowes, Carter said that
government access to and use of
personal information must be
“limited and, supervised” so that
power over information “can’t be
used to threaten our liberties.”
Included in the package of
proposals is legislation that would
severely restrict police searches
and seizures of journalists'
papers and notes. This would
effectively reverse the. U.S.
Supreme Court’s 1978 decision
Upholding the right of police to
make unannounced searches of
newspaper offices.
In addition to legislation that
would prevent searches of
newspaper offices. Carter
proposed legislation that would
increase privacy guarantees for
personal medical, financial and
insurance records.
“The proposed-bif covering”
medical records would limit
government access to the
records, give individuals the right
to see their own medical records,
make it a crime to obtain
medical-record information
under false pretenses and
' establish other privacy protec-
tions for information maintained
by hospitals and other medical
facilities.
In addition, Carter urged
enactment of legislation that
would limit the use of lie detectors
inprivate employment and said
that he intends to take several
administrative actions this year
to strengthen the privacy
protections that apply to federal
record-keeping practices
There is little question that our
privacy is one of our most im-
portant possessions It’s time the
encroachment into that privacy
by government is stopped
