...smaller and therefore less dangerous doses. One device being tested by Dr. Daniel R. Mishell of the University of Southern California School of Medicine seems to hold unusual promise: it is a small (two-inch diameter), doughnut-shaped flexible plastic ring that a woman can insert into her vagina. It prevents conception, not by blocking the sperm, as does the diaphragm, but by releasing a small steady trickle of steroids into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes of the vagina.

...Roger is a brilliant performer," Russell states unequivocally. "He has a curious quality of innocence that makes him perfect for Liszt." Russell's fantasy puts that innocence through some peculiar trials. In the new film, Liszt disappears in the vagina of a paramour ("It's just part of the job," Daltrey maintains); later he sprouts a 10-ft. penis.
