[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4597678, member: 70778"] 1- Artwork depicting nudes does not indicate "educated adults". 2- The language of 2nd was altered because Gary was no longer there. They probably didn't know whether they could reprint the exact words or not, and also while a good read of the paragraphs the book organizations were crap in 1st edition.
