Nova (UK magazine) Nova, published from March 1965 to October 1975, was a thoughtful glossy title that created its own unique niche in the British consumer magazine market at the very moment when women's hemlines rose six inches above the knee. It has been described as "a politically radical, beautifully designed, intellectual women's magazine. In 1965 "Nova" discussed sex and the Pill, and epitomised the sophistication of London with its bold type and white space." For its day, Nova's agenda of journalistically taboo subjects included contraception, abortion, cancer, race, homosexuality, divorce and royal affairs, invariably boosted by stylish and provocative cover images, making it a rarity among magazines. It was Nova's courageous second editor, Dennis Hackett, together with visionary art director Harri Peccinotti, who swiftly established their magazine as an influential must-read for the movers and shakers of Swinging London, with men as well as the original target audience of women becoming devotees of its heady mixture of social issues and cutting-edge fashion and modern lifestyle features.

Pubic Wars Pubic Wars, a pun on the Punic Wars, is the name given to the rivalry between the pornographic magazines "Playboy" and "Penthouse" during the 1960s and 1970s. Each magazine strove to show just a little bit more than the other, without getting too crude. The term was coined by "Playboy" owner Hugh Hefner. In 1950s and 1960s America, it was generally agreed that nude photographs were not pornographic unless they showed pubic hair or genitals. "Respectable" photography was careful to come close to, but not cross over, this line. Consequently, the depiction of pubic hair was "de facto" forbidden in U.S. pornographic magazines.
