...Windbag Saloon, a former brothel on Last Chance Gulch in Helena, unemployed office manager Carol Muir wants a speed limit of 75 or 80, but bartender Bob Maronick says, "I don't want to have to look at my speedometer all the time." In the cause of investigative reporting, Muir leads a three-saloon tour, and this scientific survey gives a slight edge to speed limits. A Great Falls Tribune survey found 64% in favor of a speed limit but only 50% in favor of bothering with a special session of the state legislature to get it done in January...
...books; steak tartare; gin from a green bottle poured over brilliant cubes each afternoon at five, the ice bursting into applause; cats; beautiful sentences; Stravinsky; and France." Salter's episodic memoir is studded with such fond remembrances of things, and persons, past: an insouciantly comfortable whore at a chic brothel in Morocco; that aged lion of a writer Irwin Shaw, drawn irresistibly to womanly beauty.

Sociology repeats geography. The Great Basin does not just trap precipitation; it is also a sinkhole for curious ideas. In the Salt Wells brothel outside Fallon, a group of buzz-cut Navy buddies are swigging tequila around a blazing fireplace.

He traces Picasso's inspiration back to an 1863 essay by Charles Baudelaire in which the French poet declared, somewhat arbitrarily, that carriages in the Bois de Boulogne and brothels were the two acceptable subjects for the "painter of modern life." The five female figures nakedly displaying themselves in Les Demoiselles are fairly obviously in a brothel, but Picasso, characteristically, was not content simply to do something that others had done before him. ("You've got to make what doesn't exist...
...SATURDAY NIGHTS, BRANDY'S Babes, "the World's First Cyber Brothel," cruise the Internet. According to their literature--which is pretty hard to miss if you're online--the Babes hang out in a public "chat" zone and, if you're lucky, will accompany you to a private place where you can swap dirty messages. And while they're online, you can tap into another computer and view their fescennine photos, which are supposedly updated every six minutes. Tricia, one of the Babes, promises more nymphotech is on the way, involving a video camera hooked...
