...answer just Freddy, the perfect freak-out counselor for an evening of summer camp? Not quite. Sure, he's got loads more personality than Jason, the goalie-masked monster of the seven Friday the 13th bloodfests. As Englund describes Freddy, "He has a bantam- cock swagger, an arrogant sexual thrust, like Jimmy Cagney." The ex- janitor can be pathetic too: "I picture him as a wiry, scrawny Lee Oswald with a push broom, peeking into girls' lockers when no one's looking." But the Nightmare films are more than a Freddy phenomenon. With sharp humor, a dash of B-movie...

Martin's relationship with the Chronicle began two years ago, when the inmate sent an unsolicited article to Peter Sussman, editor of Sunday Punch, the paper's weekly features and commentary section. Sussman was impressed by the story -- a harrowing account of the indiscriminate sexual assignations of several AIDS-infected inmates -- and decided to run it. Soon Martin became a regular contributor, with a series of pointed and well-read pieces about life behind bars at Lompoc...

...work has sometimes been complicit with the indulgences of the day, it was never fully in service to them. He never aimed for the lugubrious swank of Helmut Newton, whose corseted women can look like sale goods in a fancy furniture store. He never settled for the sexual salesmanship of Bruce Weber, whose boys live in a world made of equal parts Ralph Lauren and Leni Riefenstahl...
