...wouldn't dream of evaluating the sincerity of Smut Dealer Larry Flynt's conversion to being a Hustler for the Lord [Dec. 5]. But if Flynt has truly become a devotee of the "Big Boy upstairs," all I can say is that there must be some truth in the saying "miracles never cease...

As Flynt told a Pentecostal congregation in Houston, where he had gone for the National Women's Conference: "I owe every woman in America an apology...

Whether He will remain there is uncertain, as is the future of Hustler. The next few issues have closed, but this spring Hustler and its sister skin-book Chic (circ. 436,305) will begin depicting "a healthy attitude toward sex, mixed in with a spiritual message," says Flynt. "We will no longer treat women as pieces of meat." Specifically, Flynt plans to discontinue vaginal closeups, banish all flesh from the cover and sanitize a few regular features: "Asshole of the Month" will become "Turkey of the Month," for instance, and "Chester the Molester" will be renamed "Chester the Protector...
