...often recites statistics to show a national economic upswing. At one of last week's press conferences he said: "I don't know that any of my tactics are responsible for what the economy is doing. I am very happy that United States corporations paid 10% more cash dividends in the first quarter this year than they did a year earlier. I am very happy that wage earners are getting $50 billion more now than they were three years ago. I am very pleased that corporation profits are up 50%.

But the sheet of transparent plastic, less than 2 in. square, is covered closely with 1,240 barely visible rectangles.

She offers him an Austin-Healey, a luxuriantly upholstered housemaid ("or find a nice married woman in your own world"), and cold cash. Horst uses the money to set himself up as a bohemian artist in Rome, but he can't fill his life or his canvas because "there is nothing worth painting." Ultimately, he finds redemption through fleshly enslavement to Catherine, an amoral part-time model and fulltime hetaera who makes...
