Says one TV executive: "It is S-M [sadomasochism] come to television." Producer Goldberg chortles, "We love to get them wet, because they look so good in clinging clothes"-a fact long ago noted by porn producers for whom water and mud, and women struggling in same, have long been a clich...
...into the streets for location work. The mail runs to 18,000 pieces a week-even more after something as raunchy as the prison show. The fact is that, for the moment anyway, ABC has stumbled onto something big. Charlie's Angels might be called family-style porn, a mild erotic fantasy that appeals about equally to men and women. The show has been launched at a moment when there is franker discussion of sexual needs and wishes and when women, in particular, are beginning to reveal their sexual fantasies. Though hardly a credible treatment of these, Charlie...
Typically, the city has a growing blight of porn shops and very blue movies. Parts of the black ghetto are spreading into decaying white neighborhoods, and unemployment is high among the city's Latinos and blacks. Yet Grand Rapids also boasts cultural accouterments that would be the envy of many a larger city: a fine symphony orchestra, directed by Spanish-born Theo Alcantara, a ballet troupe and a civic theater. Jerry and Betty Ford buy season tickets, but they are used by his half brothers, Jim, an optometrist, and Richard, who works as manager for the Ford Paint...

Skells, panhandlers and a brigade of whores are working the streets, trying to avoid the 1,200 uniformed cops and 250 undercover men and women. The marquees of the porn theaters to the north are alight with titles like China Lust and Headmaster: There's Pleasure in Pain. Men at once jaunty and furtive are handing out leaflets advertising massage parlors. One spiel: "Check it out! Don't let Freud tell you what to do with...
...moviemaking world whose output is prodigious by Hollywood standards but who is seldom seen in the U.S. (Shashi did play opposite Hayley Mills in Pretty Polly.) For the most part, that is just as well. No other region of the world produces such a concoction of Kung Fu, scifi, porn, soapers, chasers and period pieces with such uneven degrees of tackiness and brilliance. From India to Japan, the film studios of Asia churn out more than 1,200 pictures a year, the work of moguls like Hong Kong's Run Run Shaw (see box) and one-shot entrepreneurs...
