...lipsticks are lined up like little bombs, or phalli, viz, any Xaviera Hollander column in Penthouse. The pop-anthropologists say that the lips are secondary sex organs, turning lightly the fancy of young men to less public parts of the body; setting off the subliminal alarm of desire...

But along with a lot of business, Chin picked up a bad habit: he liked to testify in court cases in which his equipment had been used. Says his blonde wife, Leonore, with understatement: "He made about...

...scarcely confined to such strips. In Houston, the Bellaire News, which is a combination of a newsstand and a smut shop, is taking applications for the job of topless chauffeur who will whisk tourists in a black Cadillac from downtown hotels to its back room porno parlor.
