After a few undistinguished turns on Broadway, the male ingenue, now equipped with a marquee name, headed west. His wife and baby son Michael followed in his slipstream. In his first film, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Barbara Stanwyck was indifferent to her co-star for several weeks. One morning her manner changed: "She said, 'Hey, you're pretty good.' I said, 'Too late, Miss Stanwyck...
...electrical charge of the forbidden. Take that away, and it becomes easier to see that he has a classicist's taste for the symmetrical, the serene, the perfected, the imperishable. But against it he plays a romantic's fascination with forceful material that classical form cannot digest. In his male nudes, mostly of black men, the genitals present themselves with a frankness that explodes the composition.

Everett Koop calls them "the best protection against AIDS infection right now, barring abstinence." Condom manufacturers have aimed aggressive advertising campaigns at women, emphasizing fear of infection rather than the usual male-oriented message about sexual pleasure. Until recently, women bought only a "small percentage" of condoms; now, an industry spokesman estimates, they represent some 40% of the $200 million U.S. market. "The 'C' word has come out of the closet," observes Barbara Lippert, a critic for Adweek magazine...
