Obviously, the real or imagined dividends of processing are made highly desirable; one is forced to marvel at the confidence Hubbard inspires. Consider his description of being a Clear: "Compared to a homo-sapiens, homo novice is very high and god-like."

At a time when the sex cinema seems increasingly preoccupied with all kinds of perversions-whips and bestiality and white slavery and homo-sexuality and the rest-Meyer comes on as an evangelist for good old boy-meets-girl relations. All the sexual action of the film centers on normal-if energetic-heterosexual encounters between ever-so-consenting adults...
