The story
Page 21 opens with a call to arms, "An opportunity for those who believe in their right to possess nude photos to join in a fight," on behalf of New York photographer Al Urban, whose negatives New York City police took "without benefit of any search warrant." Beside it, AMG photo WC-11-C stages a "rumble" over a stolen cycle, with John Krivos and Jim Meissinger, shirtless in jeans, working over a third man on a motorcycle.
Bruce Mars, "formerly of New York, now in Hollywood," gets his full measurements in a posing strap on page 22, and Freddie Carpenter, who "wants to be a singer," follows on page 23. Etienne of Kris Studios draws a plaid-shirted axeman for "November" and a letterman for "September," Frank Veitenheimer stretches out on a lounge chair, and the page 31 shower grid, "The Clean Ones" or "Gentlemen at Their Bath," names sixteen more men. Guy Madison mops the deck of a boat on the back cover.

Why it matters
AMG beefcake, Etienne art and Al Urban's printed fight against a warrantless police raid all land in one 35¢ issue, pinups and politics together.
