...getting tape recordings from the White House. The key figure, South Korean Entrepreneur Tongsun Park, hastily moved from Washington to London last year after the first published reports that he had given some Congressmen up to $10,000 each. The ethics committee, headed by Georgia's John J. Flynt Jr., has been looking into Koreagate for almost ten months without noticeable progress. Further tarnishing the House's image, the committee's counsel, Philip Lacovara, 33, who was Jaworski's Watergate assistant, quit two weeks ago, claiming that Flynt was not fully cooperating...
...important to point out that the rights of a community to decide what is obscene is the law laid down by the Supreme Court.

Each month Hustler turns over its lucrative back cover to a public service announcement; when asked how this is possible, Flynt just says, "as for advertisers, Hustler doesn't need them." The magazine outprices its competition at a hefty...

The established press is anxiously trying to disown a man who is by no means a stranger to the system; Larry Flynt and his magazine are the logical extensions of that system. Magazines like People, Cosmopolitan and New York probably have more in common with Hustler than they do with the New Republic; most journals sold in this country pander to less-than-noble interests. Larry Flynt is the illegitimate offspring...
