...want to become a donor, how can you make sure your wishes are carried out? Just checking the box on your driver's license or carrying an organ-donor card is often not enough. The consent of your family may also be required (and as the Terri Schiavo case showed, it's not always easy for everyone to reach agreement...
...Blue, don't ask me why, was the word to describe a dirty joke, an aching scrotum or a pornographic film. Two stag-film collections that opened in 1970 were called A History of the Blue Movie and Hollywood Blue.) Where was a director to find people who would consent to be photographed having sex?

Depth was not his specialty, but as a snarling, seductive wild child--half Elvis, half Sid Vicious--he captured the ebullient superficiality of the age. When he faded from the scene in 1990, the timing seemed preordained. He was as ill equipped for the atmosphere...
