Clearly chosen by the district attorney as a test case, Deep Throat has explicit sex scenes that differ little from those in dozens of other hard-core porno films. It is unusual only in its unexpected popularity. The film has grossed an estimated $1,000,000 at the World since it opened last June, and another $4,000,000 in 70 other theaters across the country, making it the most successful pornographic film ever shown.

A measure that would amend the constitution to legalize gambling is now before the New York legislature. Poor blacks tend to be against such a change because they distrust government, and they figure that the proceeds from gambling would be taken away from the black numbers runners and other local operatives. In addition, numbers men now extend credit to their customers, but legal betting parlors demand cash...
