...escape was easier to bring off than most porn fantasies. The defendant in a civil damage trial in Louisville, just across the Ohio River from New Albany, Thevis had been transferred to the jail earlier last month from the federal prisoners medical facility in Springfield, Mo. Even before his arrival, say police investigators, Thevis had greased the jailers' keys. Two deputies received $100 each from Sheriff Alex Watkins, who told them the money came from someone connected with Thevis. Watkins, who says Thevis came "highly recommended" by his attorneys as an "honor roll prisoner," claimed that the money...
Gould is an active feminist, and the best pieces in her book are lively exposes of the double standard.

Telefantasy currently stars a 23-year-old student whose job is to writhe suggestively on a bed in a baby doll nightie while listening to a male voice on the radio reading excerpts from sex novels...
Healthy or not, the porn programming seems likely to be curbed eventually. Already 18 stations have been warned by the courts to show more restraint or be closed down. Italy's parliament will soon consider a bill that will reduce the number of stations to 100 and limit the amount of advertising they can carry. Meanwhile there are signs that, after the porn wave, the next new rage on the tube may be politics. Italy's main parties have already established a foothold in TV, mainly through ownership by newspapers allied with them. Thus the fare on Rome...
