Still looking like a young man in his 70s, Burin reports that he smokes at least two cigars a day, has never been much for exercise and enjoys a glass of Scotch most evenings.

The clitoro-feminists also managed to clear out the compromisers, who believed in "blended" vaginal-clitoral orgasms. What the heck. It worked for Scotch, why not for climaxes?

...Matamoros, on the southern tip of the Rio Grande Valley, Mexican and American white-collar workers sip Scotch and water at Blanca White's, while a marimba-and-drum combo plays local salsa-flavored music. Young women from Matamoros cross into Brownsville daily to attend Texas Southmost College. They party on the U.S. side in blue jeans and T shirts, on their home turf in cocktail dresses. Affluent Americans in El Paso drink margaritas and munch tamale and chili canapes at black-tie affairs.
