...forget Billy Duke ("I'm younger, stronger and tougher, and that's why you dig me," he says.) When he is hospitalized following a brawl at Los Angeles, she flies to his bedside, and from that point on, they are inseparable. They go for walks, gambol in the snow, kiss a little. All that. But then things start going sour. Sherri becomes depressed by the constant touring, the gigs, the promotional hassles connected with folk-rock stardom. "There's nothing inside it to hang on to," she says. "Everyone should do their own number. There's enough hate around, right...

...sexiest primate.'' which made British Critic Brigid Brophy wonder whether he could be meaning some telegenic prince of the church. Now, in Intimate Behaviour, there is far more about the businessman's handshake or the surgeon's scalpel than about the lovers' kiss, and even the lovers' kiss is grimly labored as No. 1 of "twelve typical stages in the pair-formation process of a young male and female." Defying his own boredom, Morris compiles the obvious, the faintly surprising, the wildly pretentious and the erroneous: "Anyone who has enjoyed the exotic luxuries...

...side as one of his whores (his occupation as a pimp now being revealed). Ruth coolly accepts and her husband, Teddy, readily agrees to the setup. As the lights dim, Ruth sits at center stage, fondling Joey, while the old father, Max, crawls at her feet, begging her to "kiss...
