This deliquescent soft-core number from France is being distributed by a major studio (Columbia) with the benefit of a full-scale ad campaign. No exclusive linage in the sex sheets, no adhesive stickers for the walls of public toilets. Emmanuelle is being hyped as a classier breed of porn. It is as if being French somehow makes it fancier. Accordingly, there are windy full-page newspaper ads that inquire coyly, "What is the most sensual part of your body?" Several of the more likely possibilities are dismissed before the lofty conclusion is reached: the mind, the erogenous zone that...

Favorites. The rival Cincinnati Reds were something else again. One of the classiest teams in the classier league, they had defeated the World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates for the National League pennant. They had the bulk of the superstars on their side, names like Catcher Johnny Bench, Second Baseman Joe Morgan, Outfielder Pete Rose. Their uniforms were modest, their locks a model of tonsorial tidiness. Ironically, they played a wild, freewheeling brand of baseball, while the A's tended to play a more conservative game. Cincinnati speed and power made the Reds solid favorites at the start of the World...

In his latest work, he shifts his focus from the Bible to a Weehawken, New Jersey housewife but continues to court Papal revenge...

...pinches Porsches. Oscar-that is not his real name-is a high-ranking member of one of the many auto-theft rings that prowl New York's boroughs by night. He and his partners, Jackie and Mickey, cater to the carriage trade; they work the city's classier quarters. In less than 30 seconds, Mickey can open a locked Porsche, start it and drive it away. Within 48 hours, Oscar can deliver the car, complete with new paint job and serial number, to his eager customer...

...other race. In the Rumson Handicap at Monmouth against some of the classier New York sprinters the animal gave up against class horses, knowing that it had been overmatched. Never better than fifth the entire race, the horse finished sixth, thirteen lengths in arrears. The loss was not the jockey's fault as the comment was--"well placed, tired." Last week the horse won by twelve lengths against a dismal Rockingham Park field. This Saturday Coup Landing faces another lackluster array of local talent with the exception of the Eddie Anspach trained Red's Copy who would show a touch...
