...Marky Mark is sitting on a couch in a room on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto, posing for a photographer. He is fully dressed, and he's giving the camera a forlorn look. The rapper turned film actor and star of the controversial new porn-world comedy-drama Boogie Nights now prefers to be called Mark Wahlberg, the name his mother and father gave him when he was born, 26 years ago, in Boston, Mass. But the photographer wants a bit more attitude, a bit more of the old Calvin Klein pinup Marky Mark...

WASHINGTON: Politicians, themselves not the most popular figures in American public life, sometimes have difficulty finding less popular targets suitable for attack. There are drug dealers, Internet porn producers, and recently, the Internal Revenue Service. Now the Senate Finance Committee begins to unveil the findings of a six-month probe, and TIME correspondent Sam Gwynne says the IRS may deserve the public lashing it will receive. The committee will charge that the agency targets lower-and-middle-income people for audits and uses a quota system to rate agents. Some analysts are asking if the service's behavior...

...taken any Hippocratic Oath, but the lovably cankersored fellow (if he's the cover man) is no stranger to political commentary. With a European openness and security about the human body, the Doktor pokes fun in "Porno-Person" at the American tendency toward absolute public condemnation of purveyors of porn.

Deep down, says the Doktor, these porno-people must be just like all of us. Less subtle notes on American society occur...

...oppose Martin Luther King's march from Selma; and falsely blaming Black Muslims for the 1963 church bombing in Birmingham that killed four young girls. Frankenheimer is particularly adept at capturing the mayhem Wallace causes on the presidential campaign trail. An inspired bit of casting has fat, hirsute porn star Ron Jeremy playing a working-class Bostonian, yelling his support for Wallace when the Governor is attacked by students at Harvard...

...more politically fireproof sentence has yet to be conceived by mortal man. On the surface the policy seems reasonable, given the prevalence of offensive sites and the ease with which even a novice Web surfer can find them (though most porn sites these days can't be accessed without a credit card). But free-speech advocates call censorware a cure worse than the disease. Filtering programs block Web pages in one of two ways. The more primitive method is to search for key words in the pages' titles, a system with all the subtlety of a Gatling gun. America Online...
