Scorpio's orgy scene finally sprang on the silver screen. The old man jumped up and down in his seat, "They're a-coming, they're a-coming," he wheezed. The genitals shot was in ten seconds. He was up on his feet, treacherously supporting the spindly legs bowed by years of riding. Tears came to his eyes. His Polident began to loosen. His friends frantically pulled the zippers on their storm cuffs back and forth until...

Earth, concrete, steel, bits of trees spewed into the air. The concussion from the thundering guns was so tremendous that troops and equipment alike shook uncontrollably.

A.T. &T. shares were-already below their peak of 75 (after a 2-for-l stock split in 1964) when the commission sprang its surprise. Between Oct. 28 and Feb. 2, they dropped from 661 to 581, inflicting $4.36 billion in paper losses on A.T. &T. investors. Showman Billy Rose, the company's largest individual shareholder, lost $700,000 of his $10.7 million fortune in A.T. &T. between...
