...Subway Cinema?s favorite scarlet starlet is Julie Lee, sometimes known as Julie Riva. Lee graces three IMTFG offerings. She enjoys airborne sex-hex workouts in ?Chinese Torture Chamber Story? and another, daffier concoction, ?The Eternal Evil of Asia.? When she vaults from tree to tree to Tsui Kam-kong?s loins, she helps creates the zestiest airborne coupling since the Flying Fucks trapeze duo in Peter Locke?s very funny 1973 porn film ?It Happened in Hollywood.?

Across the bay in Berkeley it's even daffier: along with Fidel Castro, the city council is all that is left of the communist elite...
...grand plans for future races in Chicago, St. Louis and New York, but there is a lot of pedaling ahead before the six-day whirl to nowhere comes back from the limbo that has swallowed marathon dances, flagpole sitting, bunion derbies and other rowdy remnants of sport's daffier days...
