...retail, the selling of porn has become less lurid. Vivid is happy to peddle videotapes in a more Main Street manner through the Adam & Eve catalog, which is mailed to 2.5 million people a month, and Tower and Virgin record stores, where the "Vivid girls" have done signings. Castle Superstores, a chain of eight Wal-Mart-size outlets in the West, is trying to bring a sense of class to the business. By getting rid of peep shows and strippers, the Castle stores have been able to attract a clientele that is nearly 50% couples, much higher than...
Then, Jackson says, he talked to Chelsea about Adam and Eve. "Of course, at the age of 19 or 20, she knows about sex. She's seen videos, watched television, listened to music. She knows what is expected in marriage and knows what, in fact, happens." It was when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, he explained, that all the cover-ups started. "The moral here is, 'You should have stopped talking to the snake in the first place.'" Later he prayed with the family, and before he left, Chelsea said, "I love Dad. I'll handle it." Both...
...plots: a smart guy falls for a hunky guy and spends the whole movie waiting to be kissed by him. Even the supporting characters are similar.

The S&P 500 dividend yield, which stood at 2.6% on the eve of the 1987 crash, has dropped to 1.5%. The S&P's price-earnings ratio, or P/E (based on expected earnings), is 21--down from 23 in July but still much higher than the previous peak of 19 in 1991, according to earnings tracker First Call. Meanwhile, market leaders still sport bubble-like P/Es: Coca-Cola, where unit sales are growing about 8% a year...
...actress, even at age 79, is still at the top of her game. Appearing off-Broadway in Margulies' two-character exercise, Collected Stories, she plays a celebrated short-story writer and professor who takes a talented graduate student under her wing. Does the relationship get thorny? Think All About Eve. If the bones too frequently show through the flesh of Margulies' formulaic play, never mind. Hagen--now bawdily arrogant, now anguished with betrayal--is ferociously riveting...
