...Marienbadesque The Story of Joanna (1975). But by then, porno was an industry, and it relied less on artistic pretension than on grinding out product. In the next 20 years, Damiano put his name on another three dozen or so hardcore movies, none of which made much of an impact. Like silent-film director D.W. Griffith in the talkie era, Damiano was a pioneer whom new trends left behind.

Rothschild explained in his Times letter that he was moved to intervene because of Osborne's original indiscretion in telling a journalist about his private conversation with Mandelson. "It ill behoves all political parties to try and make capital at the expense of another in such circumstances. Perhaps in future it would be better...
