...Saturday in detention. All they have in common are secret sins, an ache for camaraderie and a festering resentment of parental and school domination. There is little music, not much action, just kids sitting around talking. Good talk, though. The brain, ragged by the rebel as "a neo-maxi zoom dweebie," explains that he faked the age on his I.D.

...Maxi squirmed in her Calvin Klein jockstrap. They'd added a new dimension to her sex life. Was she a pervert?" The question could only be put by Judith Krantz, back again with her patented blend of eavesdropping and name dropping.

Among them: Band-Aids, Stayfree maxi-pads, Ortho-Novum oral contraceptives, many baby products. Tylenol accounted for only $400 million of the company's 1981 sales of nearly $5.4 billion, which ranked J&J No. 68 on the FORTUNE 500 list of the largest U.S. industrial companies. Some Wall Street analysts now guess that the expense of recalling all Tylenol capsules will cause the company to report a loss for the current quarter, but add that...
...also claims joint credit for most of the book's original ideas, including "Silence Isn't Golden" (lovers should constantly talk during and after sex), "Fingertipping" (when lovers simultaneously rub each other's back lightly with their fingertips, the results are highly erotic) and "The Maxi Orgasm" (a shattering "untamable" mega-orgasm well within the reach of most women...
