...have told a very different story about the Ivory Coast. With a relatively high level of national income and one of the continent's best universities, it is one of Black Africa's few economic success stories. But these facts receive scant attention in Naipaul's work. Naipaul is explicit about his choices of subject.

The request came after a meeting of the pageant board, hastily called in response to an announcement by Penthouse Publisher Bob Guccione, 53, that Williams will be featured in nude, extremely explicit love scenes with another woman on ten pages of the skin mag's September issue. According to the beauty queen's mother, Freelance Photographer Tom Chiapel took the black-and-white pictures two summers ago while Williams was working as a makeup artist and receptionist at a model...
