...phrases to their friends. Two sit on a concrete bench, with a spread of coffee cups and a thermos laid out between them. It looks like a picnic. One quickly points out that the final examination for Church History 103 is nothing of the kind: the reading list is "bottomless," 2500 pages worth, and it didn't help that they had the questions in advance. "Shit," says another, "I'm going back in and keep bombing it." He vanishes through the orange doors and descends into the exam. The picnickers remain, saying that the thermos is a new idea...

Pornography is hard to find. Topless and bottomless dancing are strictly forbidden. Thus it came as an extraordinary shock when a county grand jury indicted Cincinnati Police Chief Carl V. Goodin, 42, the commander of the vice squad and six other cops last month for charges ranging from bribery and extortion to perjury. At the same time, Larry Flynt, paunchy publisher of the raunchy new skin magazine Hustler, was indicted on charges of bribery and sodomy.

...Then he threatened to reopen as a photographic-arts studio. The city discovered it also had regulations covering photo studios, so Touch of Class is now a nude-sketch studio. Milwaukee is currently trying to pass restrictions on all "body studios." San Francisco operators metamorphosed their businesses from bottomless bars to topless restaurants, massage parlors and now nudie encounter groups. In once staid Des Moines, which has some 20 sex-service businesses, a ban on outcall massage produced a new industry: outcall nude modeling...

...hear it everywhere. Yale students talk about "academic pressure" with all the fatalism and glibness of theologians discussing the Last Judgment. "The Work" is a bottomless, ever-popular topic of conversation in the dining halls--the only topic, really, aside from occasional digressions on sexual tension and the quality of the food. "How's the work coming?" people say, and if you cannot claim at least a knotty problem set or a stubbornly complex research paper you might as well sit back and devote yourself to your stewage.
