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. Last week the grand jury reconvened, and still more indictments are expected...
...probe involved police tolerance of flagrant offenses in Cincinnati's taverns. One of them was the Clock Bar, a joint that offered free meals and booze to cops who overlooked the flourishing trade in hard drugs carried on there (one report said 646 bags of heroin were seized there in an eight-month period last year).

...complexity of the Dallas offense does not worry Widenhofer either. "We have an advantage in playing Cincinnati twice this year," he says. "The Bengals use lots of motion. The only difference between Dallas and Cincinnati is where the quarterback is." The Steelers' offense is more predictable. Fullback Franco Harris was good for almost 5 yds. a smash this season, and Quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who is also having his best season, will throw to him as well. For deeper patterns, he looks to the speedy Lynn Swann...
