...poor deluded women who said they had vaginal orgasms and thought they were enjoying them. Hite called this "emotional" orgasm, as opposed to "real" orgasm. 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? But no, the clitoral-pride movement got so strong it became somewhat embarrassing to admit that you owned a vagina or a penis. For all we know, women who used to fake vaginal orgasms for their hubbies began to fake clitoral ones for the women's movement...

...flower. In New York it might seem almost child's play, but in Britain a billion-dollar merger or acquisition remains a remarkable event. Last week several behemoth-size deals were in the offing. Argyll, a supermarket chain, offered $2.8 billion to acquire Distillers, maker of Johnnie Walker Scotch and Gordon's gin, and Britain's General Electric bid $1.8 billion for Plessey, an electronics firm...

...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.

None of this, however, can destroy the city's legendary mercantile spirit; even in the war-torn western sector, stores are still open, selling quality goods at bargain prices ($40 for a pair of stylish Italian-made shoes, $4 for a bottle of Scotch). Main reason: the government has been unable to collect customs duties for many months. Even some liquor stores are operating, though they keep their stocks hidden for fear of attracting the attention of fanatic Shi'ite militiamen who roam about looking for violations of the Islamic stricture against alcohol. Shortages of staples are rare; only severe...
