...tour like bees at a picnic. "If you're shooting to be No. 1 in the world, it's a lonely thing," says veteran golfer Kirk Triplett. "There's not a lot of friendliness when you're trying to beat a guy's brains in." Others are even more direct. "They rub each other the wrong way, sure," says one player. "A lot of it is arrogance. Some of it is condescension. I guarantee you they want to beat the other guy just because he is the other...
Such Tupperware-style parties for pets are the mainstays of Nemeth's booming new business, Petlane. Nemeth, 57, founded the direct-marketing company last year, and the "pawty" (her term) is the same kind of coffee-time shindig that propelled her first direct-sales company, Discovery Toys, to success. She says this time around, she was inspired by her daughter's Cavalier King Charles spaniel to provide toys for "the dearest thing on four legs." The cutesy get-togethers are already translating into solid sales. Nemeth, who started Petlane from her home in Lafayette, Calif., says she expects...

(Metzger went on to direct one more arty hard-core, the excellent Paris-shot SM drama The Image, before turning to light-hearted New York porn under the pseudonym Henry Paris.) The Market was just that: a film showcase to lure international buyers. But the porn movies on display fit snugly into the tone of the official Festival...
...unaffected Debra Allen) investigates phone sex, a father-son duo and pornographic literature, plus the inevitable group grope. The finest liaison involves a woman, Elizabeth, who wants to keep her five-year marriage fresh by giving Debra as a present to her husband Tony. The catch: Elizabeth has to "direct" the scene, which she does with a gentle, practiced bossiness. "Tony, your knee's in my way -down!" "Harder, harder!" "Come on, Tony, have a good time. You look so bored." Somehow Tony manages an erection, and Elizabeth joins the party. It's a lovely, and hot, demonstration...
