Today many psychologists are
saying that the ins titution of mar–

And there is a definite movement to
bring that about.
The conspiracy consists of a two–

This is a war which is being vigor–

capture t,he minds of those of pre–

Today virtually every college and
university in th e United States of–

and sociology. And almost withoul
exceptions. these courses make re–
quired reading books and anides
that picture marriage as now out–
dated and soon to become a relic of

subject, probed by questions from
Dr. Masters and Mrs. Johnson (ac–

Johnson checked five yea rs la ter and
found only one of the couples was
