Underwritten by the 3M Company (Scotch tape, etc.), which contributed $105,000 of the show's $140,000 cost, VD Blues is, in fact, as timely as anything that is likely to appear on TV this fall. Gonorrhea, which many people may believe was eliminated with the advent of penicillin, is epidemic in the U.S. today, and even more dangerous syphilis is not far behind. According to public health authorities, there were 700,000 cases of gonorrhea reported in the first six months of 1972, with many thousands more unreported...
...infinite possibilities. By the end of the sixties, though. Barth was looking in a new direction, and Lost in the Funhouse (1969) was a radical departure from everything that had preceded it in Barth's career. A collection of highly experimental stories, the volume was subtitled "Fiction for Print. Tape, Live Voice," and was originally scheduled for publication accompanied by tapes.

Using disks instead of tape does have a disadvantage; a video...
...Once the basic research had been done, Irving and Suskind simply sat down at a tape recorder, interviewed each other, and began spinning tales. They invented scandalous stories of how Hughes seduced his father's mistress while his father was watching, how Hughes once rescued a kleptomaniac aircraft executive from imprisonment for a theft of Oreo cookies, and how Hughes reluctantly went swimming in the nude with-of course-Ernest Hemingway. The imaginary Hughes had originally barged in on Hemingway in Sun Valley, introduced himself as a bush pilot and taken the novelist "for a spin...
