...suspected prostitutes and 15 agitated men, some of them corporate executives spouting excuses about having got lost ("I was at the wrong place at the wrong time," said one) and about having expected only a rubdown ("My shirt was on. My pants were on," said another). Last Monday the brothel's alleged madam, Judith Kelly Dempsey, 46, returned to her $1.6 million home from a Las Vegas vacation, found that the usual assortment of lounging businessmen and $225-an-hour courtesans were missing and turned herself in to face charges of promoting prostitution. Says Lorraine Weinlein, 71, a local...
Investigators have turned up a computerized list of the brothel's frequent customers, and the locals suspect many of their neighbors are on it. They say the township has lost its cloistered innocence. "This road is now notorious. People come to stop and gawk," sighed a homeowner as a car swung into her driveway, having done just that. "We're so used to hearing about these sordid things these days that nothing shocks us anymore," said Weinlein, the neighbor, "and it's sad." She cast her eyes around.

...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."

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. "The great engines of this world," Salter notes, "do not run on faithfulness...
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. They narrate the day's maneuvers with swooping hand gestures while a giggling, shirtless young prostitute looks on. She seems unimpressed by the flyboys' classified briefing. At the bar, a middle-aged cowboy quietly raves about a plot to swamp Nevada in methamphetamine ("crank"). The cowboy doesn't want his name used (few people do out here), but he does...
