...first issue, porn's impact on the user, students divide. To many, porn is innocent escapism, a healthy device for fantasizing, a safety valve for dangerous impulses, a useful antidote to Puritan attitudes. Alan Dundes, professor of folklore at Berkeley, argues that it is an informal part of the nation's sex-education program, "the way American culture prepares people for sexuality." To Social Psychologist Douglas Wallace of the University of California Medical Center, porn is needed to bring sexual pleasure to the losers in the sexual game?the shy, the unattractive, the crippled.

Drillmaster Berkeley's average cast of 100 chorines rode decoratively in Ferris wheels, bowed neon-lighted violins while they whirled in triple-hooped skirts, played acres of white pianos for 100 top-hatted swains. Footlight Parade featured the precision swimming and diving of 150 movie mermaids, filmed from a plate-glass corridor underneath the mammoth pool, all of which cost $10,000 per screen minute.
