...effort to legalize pornography across the board: "Publishers who printed the books tried to counter falling sales by price reductions, but even this was not successful." One of those publishers is Stig Vendelkjaer, whose titles include I, a Woman. "I have 500,000 unsold books in stock," he complains. "Heaven knows how I shall ever get rid of them." Hardest hit of all, perhaps, are the obsequious little men who run Denmark's fleshier kiosks and porno stores-and who are now trying to unload for $8.50 a reel skin flicks that last year sold for $40. "The legalization...
...Northern Songs, founded in 1963 to handle the songwriting business of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, was the object of a takeover bid by Britain's Associated Television, producer of The Avengers. Associated bought up 35% of the stock in March and made a $23.5 million tender offer for the rest; the company now has just over 36% of the shares.

His firm's prospectus declares bluntly that if the constitution is not amended, Donaldson, Lufkin will go public anyway. If the stock exchange then drops it from membership, the firm seems prepared to risk the short-term loss of the 63% of its revenue that comes from commissions on Big Board trades. It would hope to make that up by using regional and other markets, where most of the Big Board stocks...
...Undoubtedly distracted by worries of pollution and politics, audiences uttered no complaint when the subtitles slipped off-screen for one complete show, leaving nothing but nudes spouting Swedish. Apart from Philadelphia and Senator Dirksen, it seems, Curious has caused only one other stir: The over-the-counter stock of Grove Press, the movie's distributor, was selling at $6.25 in October 1968. Last week as Curious (Yellow) moved out to other major cities shares were over $30, and rising...
