Japan and the JSP in a neutralism debate
A study by A. A. Stockwin from Melbourne University Press analyzes the Japan Socialist Party policy since 1945. It notes repeated slogans and internal factionalism, highlighting reliance on neutralism, US ties, and the lack of domestic electoral strength. The book compares JSP with Australia’s ALP DLP and anticipates 1970 treaty revisions.

A Cool Look at Sex Fetish by Gillian Freeman
Freeman surveys hard core pornography in Britain noting most material targets male readers and sits on the fringe of legitimate literature. She traces magazines from women's titles to Playboy and Penthouse, highlights fetishes like BDSM and transvestism, and argues censorship is ineffective while deviant works reflect but do not change sexual drives.

Novels for diversion review of four 1960s thrillers
A compact critique compares four British and New Zealand novels aimed at casual readers. Peter Bates’s Man Out of Mind is the least convincing with thin plotting, while Miles Tripp’s One is One stands out for its intricate blackmail and motive. Colonel Sun by Robert Markham receives sharp critique for misusing Bond lore, and John Redgate’s The Killing Season is noted for its relentless focus on killings with streamlined narrative strands.
