...disbursements; the latter a female golem, an artificial being that Puttermesser fashioned from potting soil. With Xanthippe's aid, the civil ser vant becomes mayor and turns the city into a Utopia. Unfortunately, it is the nature of golems to turn against their creators. Xanthippe plays a succubus, sleeps with every man in the administration, and the city returns to chaos...
Jackson's Hedda is nasty and coarse, a kind of anemic succubus. She is choking on her own rage, not fighting against her desperation. There is no sympathy in her.

Fans of Myra Breckinridge-that beautiful, transsexual, all-American succubus-will recall that she was last seen in a hospital bed after having the silicon knocked out of her by a hit-and-run driver.

The Los Angeles Times occasionally refuses to run titles (such as Succubus, The Toilet) in ads for entertainment that it freely identifies in its reviews. Navels are airbrushed out of its film ads but are front and center on its fashion pages. The Times okayed an ad it had rejected as too violent after shotguns replaced machine guns in illustration. "Virgin" was barred from ad copy for Rachel, Rachel; it was approved for Goodbye, Columbus. As do some other papers, the Times has distributed a "screening code," but, says one studio...
