There is a fair chance that future historians may credit-or blame-Alex de Renzy, 34, an imaginative San Francisco pornographer, for bestowing the coup de grâce to movies' last remaining sexual inhibitions. De Renzy went to Denmark with a camera crew last year and shot endless reels of 16-mm. film of the country's legal pornography industry. The resulting Pornography in Denmark takes sexploitation as far as it can go. The picture explicitly depicts lesbianism, fellatio, cunnilingus, and every detail of conventional sexual intercourse...
...film has now achieved more or less legitimate distribution in Los Angeles and Manhattan, where it plays under the alias Censorship in Denmark: A New Approach. In San Francisco, de Renzy took the movie from what he jokingly calls his "sleazy lust house" in the tenderloin to a theater in the respectable Marina district. "We just couldn't fill up the theater with sex freaks," says de Renzy. "We are pitching to a much broader, middle-class audience." Not counting upcoming bookings in Seattle and Washington, D.C., the $15,000 venture has grossed some $800,000 in half...

Police vice squads have raided Porno-once in Los Angeles, twice in San Francisco-but courts have refused to close the show. Another censorship dodge, used by many of de Renzy's competitors in the fast-expanding porno market, is sex education. Such how-to-do-it movies as Man and Wife and Marital Fulfillment clinically demonstrate...
...Centre Européen. "I'm glad to see you!" Did Schumann's government share that feeling? That was the critical question last week as the foreign ministers of Europe's six Common Market nations greeted the delegates from the four hopeful applicants-Ireland, Norway and Denmark as well as Britain...
There are enough pesky details to be settled to keep the talks going for at least 18 months, and perhaps much longer. And success is by no means guaranteed. Before they get to haggling over such questions as Denmark's special relationships with Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the negotiators will deal with the main issue: Britain. It is widely assumed that London's third bid for Common Market membership will probably be its last. With the pound in reasonably robust shape, Britain is nowhere near as desperate as it was in 1967 when, hat in hand...
