...Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato's Inside Deep Throat, a snazzy documentary now playing in theaters and coming soon to HBO, and a more synoptic view in the new book The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry, by Legs McNeil, Jennifer Osborne and Peter Pavia. Diving into the nearly 600 pages of unmediated testimony from the actors, directors and producers, and the cops who kept track of them and tried to bring them down, a reader gets an inside look at a time when porn -the entire cultural life -was different, bolder, weirder, better...

Fact!" says Peter Goldston, a booming-voiced Australian who is technical director of Nam Theun Power Co., the consortium building the project. "But our project allows us to mitigate some of the damage." Goldston, 61, has worked on seven dam projects in Australia, Cambodia and the Philippines, dating back to 1966. "We did some terrible things during that time, no doubt about it," Goldston says. "But times have changed, so we have had to change...
