I figured that anybody intelligent enough to get into Harvard would not let something as puerile as religious convictions prevent her from living a normal adult life.

...really were twelve?Brooke Shields in Louis Malle's misty legend of 1917 New Orleans, Pretty Baby, and Jodie Foster in Martin Scorsese's contemporary shocker, Taxi Driver. Each movie caused a mild outcry, but the general reaction was nervous acceptance. The phenomenon they dealt with was real enough; as Malle took to pointing out, you can hire a twelve-year-old whore any night on Manhattan's Eighth Avenue...
