...marriage were soon to shift emphasis. Even as he denounced "the pill" as immoral in 1951, Pope Pius XII strongly affirmed the spiritual values of sex. "The conjugal act," he said, "is a personal action, which, according to the word of the Scriptures, effects the union 'in one flesh alone...
Clearly on'the way out are the assorted discounts, donations and deals that ministers once relied upon to flesh out the modest salary that went with a pulpit call. In 1887, for example, the Rev. William E. Barton was offered $400 a year to serve as pastor of the Congregational Church in Litchfield, Ohio.

...nude behind a bed sheet in Le Bambole (The Dolls). This was silly, said she, loftily. No great actress tries to create a scandal. "Even a spicy part can be done seriously." And besides, she cooed to the judge, it wasn't really she beneath the sheet-merely flesh-colored tights. So the judge reserved judgment, shook her hand warmly, and went off to study the evidence of art imitating reality...
