What then are Pecker's plans for the Globe, given its reputation as the naughtiest and most ethically challenged of the big three tabloids? (It was the Globe that set up Frank Gifford's hotel tryst with a former airline attendant, prompting a censorious New York Times op-ed piece by Enquirer editor Steve Coz.) Pecker says the Globe will "absolutely not" pull such a stunt again. Still, he says, "we're going to cover the spice and the controversy of the story. It's going to really be, shall I say, the unvarnished story...
...Diary, translated by Ann Goldstein, purports to be an on-the-spot account of the sad tryst of a girl and her stepfather--the "real" story behind Humbert's besotted ravings in a book titled Lolita. We are told that Dolores ("Lolita") Maze (not Haze) met Humbert Guibert (not Humbert) in the home of her mother Isabel (not Charlotte); that Humbert took a fancy to Lo; that he married the mother to get to the daughter; that on the mother's death, Hum and Lo took to the open road, fitfully pursued by the girl's true love, playwright Gerry...
...Romance cannot live up, or down, to its fevered billing. It's a slow, morose little film about Marie (Caroline Ducey), who teaches school by day and at night gets primal lessons in sex, rough or tender. Bored with her beau, who declines intercourse, she has a tryst with hunky Paolo (Italian porn star Rocco Siffredi). But her real soul mate is the headmaster of her school (Francois Berleand), who binds and gags her while spouting aphorisms like "Physical love is triviality clashing with the divine." This is Marie's kind of relationship; it means "tying me up without tying...
...bred writers, did so in a sassy vernacular that singed sensitive ears. And the films were acted with a feral intelligence. James Cagney, Jean Harlow, Mae West, Barbara Stanwyck were street-level stars with insolent accents and attitudes. "There we were, like an uncensored movie," says Harlow of one tryst in Red-Headed Woman (she fornicates her way up the social ladder, gets found out and lands in Paris with a new sugar daddy and a stud chauffeur). These guys and dolls could dish it out and just as surely take it. Even glamour types felt the sting...
...unusual for the market to fall in love with a stock, seduce it and then abandon it. What is unusual is for this to happen faster than a college tryst. For TheStreet.com where I am the largest shareholder and a writer and director, the impact of the decline was more subtle than the fall was jolting. Right out of the box, investors gave us a big market cap--in essence, a club to beat up or buy up competitors. But then they took the club away before we could start swinging. We were looking brash and predator-like...
