Citing rare cases like this one, the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta last week expanded the number of Americans who should consider whether to be tested for exposure to a disease that is still largely confined to male homosexuals, bisexuals and intravenous drug users.

Steffani Martin, who was one of five females among the 30 viewers at the screening that day in Manhattan, says it was a good example of the new female consciousness breaking in on the crude male world of pornography.

In Daughters, the male leads are unremittingly sensitive and determined not to dominate. When one of the three daughters gets a job in London, her boyfriend cheerfully changes jobs to follow her abroad.
