...something more than glossy s.-and-m. porn, that every little welt raised on its nameless heroine's body had a meaning all its own. The novel, it was earnestly proposed, explored the paradox that only in slavery can one find perfect freedom. A flogging here, a gang shag there, these are a small price to pay for release from the endless naggings of free will...
...blurry-faced, rumpled Italian from Boston; a buck shouldered mama in a Porsche tee-shirt giving a two-handed thigh clasp to slit-eyed tough with TKO'ed reflexes; a plump little blonde in a too-tight girdle and high, cut jeans who's loosing her battle for the shag-cut brown-haired, fishy-moustached, brown-oiled, flat-faced stud in the bleach spotted blue sweatshirt who passes God-knowing glances to the skinny, tight-asses, thin-featured queen of the joint.

But no successor to the Afro coiffure has caught on more rapidly than the corn-row-tight, Topsy-like plaits that until recently were worn by women. Now a growing number of soul brothers are sporting buckwheat braids in as many variations as there are African nations, where the style is traditional...
