...pacing the nation's pavements. Many cities have walled off whole streets of the girls from public view and declared them off-limits to minors. In Frankfurt, bed and board of the late Rosemarie Nitribitt, the cruising floozy of the movie Das Mädchen Rosemarie, downtown traffic is jammed every night by fleets of motorized trollops. They crawl along in their Mercedes flashing their parking lights at prospective clients-then charging them $25 for double parking. When Munich banned them from its downtown area, angry prostitutes formally accused the city council of violating federal right-to-work laws...

One of his colleagues had to resort to a more elaborate approach.

...retirement incomes for servants, write legacies into their wills, and hand out handsome Christmas bonuses. But most people have given up on full-time help. And the "daily" is all too often not as daily as she should be- absent by reason of mysterious seizures, or late because of traffic jams. One of the real problems is the time and effort it takes to travel between the poor sections of the city, where the servants live, to the spreading suburbs, where the jobs are. In most areas, the only live-in helps are husbands...
