...Even Valenti's critics would acknowledge the ratings system worked well for a while. X, belying its suggestion of toxicity, simply meant films for adults only. Most, like Medium Cool, were serious, intense, mature social studies; and one, Midnight Cowboy, won the Oscar for the best picture of 1969. But two things changed. The MPAA had copyrighted its other classification, but not the X, which was soon appropriated by the early-'70s wave of porno features.

Rudd is chasing a younger crowd through appearances on puerile FM radio shows. One of the medium's luminaries, Jackie O, asked Rudd if he would continue to appear on her program if he became P.M. "Happy to come on the date, the time and the hour," he said, adding, "there's only one precondition. All the questions are easy." Her on-air partner, Kyle Sandilands, who knows...
