Flynt spent a weekend with Stapleton and her veterinarian husband at their Fayetteville, N.C., home, and the Stapletons visited the Flynts' 23-room mansion in Columbus, where they discussed religion and sexual repression, Stapleton recalls. Flynt abruptly phoned her from San Antonio around midnight...
