...formula: endless scenes of copulation, strung along in an unnoticeable plot. But now porn-film makers are breaking away from the standard formula. One way consists of cutting out some of the crasser scenes and trying for the lyrical, romantic porn presumably favored by women. Example: the 1974 French import Emmanuelle, with welling music and tugging at heartstrings, started a newly profitable trend toward sleeker soft-core scenes. Another approach provides new jolts for jaded fans. One current porn film, Sweet Movie, features a striptease for children, intercourse plus murder on a bed of sugar, grisly exhumations and a band...
...Small imports, which range in price from $2,700 to $3,400, are also feeling the chill of buyer indifference. They now account for no more than 14% of U.S. sales v. almost 18% last year. Among foreign makes, Volkswagen, long the leader in import sales to the American market, has fallen to third, behind Toyota and Datsun...

"Phil has been known to take a drink from time to time. If he does half...
...that, but I surely wish they'd cut out the self-delusion that moves them (and male clubbies) to try and get me to believe that their clubs are not, or will not be, elitist or socially exclusive. To quote from your article, it is hard to fathom the import of Dr. Chase Peterson's words. "Too few people are involved in final clubs to feel excluded if they were unable to join." This is a curious brand of Twist-O-Flex logic to say that a member of a majority group seeking access to a minority clique will...
