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. Ex-Prostitute Xaviera Hollander has sold 9 million copies of her paperbacks. Some 780 American theaters, including many elegant first-run houses, routinely show X-rated movies 52 weeks a year...
