...aside the data for a moment and take a walk on any American beach. Casually, discreetly, observe the flesh (this is not a gender thing; we're talking every last, ever loving body on the sand). Now, don't you think that last summer, or the summer before, or especially back in the '80s, there were fewer paunches out there that jiggled like flan? And didn't we just go through a spell where the buttocks seemed hitched to a spot just a notch or two higher up the spine...
...PAULA HUSE and The Sundown Country Dancers. At times there seemd to be as many Cambridge politicians as senior citizens. City Councillors REEVES, ALICE K. WOLP, JONATHAN S. MYERS, FRANCIS H. DUEHAY '55, EDWARD N. CYR. SHEILA T. RUSSELL and WILLIAM H. WALSH were all spotted pressing the flesh as the November election draws near (wolf isn't running, but was working the room with another council candidate KATHY BORN). A good time was had by all, officials said...

The California-based electronic bulletin board is one of the many new cybersocieties where men and women can meet and message each other in a network less smoky than a singles bar, less nerve-racking than a blind date.

Grisham spun a lovely yarn -- the venality, the conspiracy, the flypaper guilt -- then let it unravel at the denouement...
Public concern over the flesh trade is rising. Last year Pope John Paul II expressed "horror over the degrading practice of sex tourism." In 1990 he had warned that "men, women and children must not be used as objects at the expense of their inalienable dignity." And a backlash against the sex trade is taking form in several countries where it has long been entrenched. In Manila the new mayor, Alfredo Lim, vows "to eradicate prostitution," and has padlocked 300 bars. Under a new law, pimps and clients will face prison and deportation. In Karachi human-rights lawyers are mobilizing...
