...half the stuff that she claimed. It was fun to read about her doing it with a dog. And a lot of people, if they remember nothing else about the book, will remember her earnest assertion that you can always tell the size of a man's sexual organ's by the length of his fingers. The I've been there and back narrative of the real Xaviera may have been inane, but the movie is so clean it's almost godly--and Doris Day could have played this whore and not batted a sanctimonious eyelash...

Last week Granma, the official Communist Party organ, published a draft of a proposed new constitution, which provides for an elected National Assembly; it is expected to be submitted to a public referendum later this year...
