The home of Mrs. Roy Cornish was the setting for a lovely afternoon tea in aid of the Library Improvement fund. was acting out the violence he had seen in his mother's pornographic magazines. Judge Jack Page found the boy guilty of first degree murder in the sex-related killing. The boy and his seven year old brother said they both sexually abused the baby. The boys' mother was the girl's babysitter. The mother acknowledged she kept por- nographic magazines in the house and the boys had access to them." America is shocked at the sex- ual abuse of children that claims our headlines. Bewildered parents are afraid to leave their children in nursery schools and day care centers. Child sexual abuse has tripled in our genera- tion, according to an NBC telecast "Silent Shame." The "Playboy philosophy" has moved rapidly beyond nudity, homosexuality, bestiality and group sex orgies to "kiddie porn." What would you do if you saw an adult raping a little child? Would you not be enraged and do all within you power to save that child? Thousands of children are being raped today in front of cameras and the rapists are getting rich," Jerry Kirk, Mind Pollution. The U.S. Justice Department projects that one out of every four girls in America, twelve years of age, will be sex- ually assaulted during her lifetime. Pornography is not just a pic- ture on a piece of paper. Por- nography is not just a "work of art." Pornography has living definition. It's about people, ex- pecially those who are the most vulnerable in our society - babies, children, teen-agers, homeless young adults who run away with little or no money. They are pick- ed up at bus stations and street (Turn to page 11) Life's Like That by Julia Ashton Lifestyles of the rich and famous Looks like Zsa Zsa Gabor will be spending a little time behind bars, not that it's going to do her much good. The Hungarian-born actress, best remem- bered by myself as the bumbling urbanite in The Green Acres show, will do time after slap- ping a Beverly Hills cop. But if this is prison life, please tell me where | can sign up. Her royal Zsa Zsaness will be spending three days and two nights accommodation at the four-star Sybil Brand Institute for women. Acting captain of the institute, Lieutenant Joseph Surgent told reporters that "We would love to have her (stay at Sybil Brand)" but cautioned that Zsa Zsa should wear the same blue jail garb as all the other inmates. Oh, phooey. What in heavens name will Zsa Zsa do with the prison dress she had made for her by designer Bob Mackie. (Of course we all know who Mr. Mackie is. He's the dude that designs all of Cher's clothing.) Unconfirmed reports say that the other in- mates don't want to see Zsa Zsa's belly but- ton and insisted she wear the same unreveal- ing clothes as everyone else. That's where all the hardships end for Zsa Zsa in jail. You see, in Los Angeles, prisoners are allowed to choose where they serve time as long as they foot the bill. The poor little dahling will be bunking in a $100 a night penthouse cell, complete with color television. Life is so rough. | think proper punishment for Ms. Gabor would include locking the television set on, preferably to a channel showing continuous PTL telecasts. And while we're on the subject, what about that Jim Bakker fellow. Yes, he is truly a man of God. Who else would fleece the elderly and others of all the money they have? Exact figures aren't in but some people believe he pocketed $3.7 million from his followers. But of course his followers did not think they were giving up their money for nothing. Jimmy had offered free accommodations at his Christian retreat in return for hefty dona- tions. Only problem was that there was no room at the inn. "Well, what the heck. Mary and Joseph did okay, didn't they?" Jimmy was rumored as saying. . Don't expect that his PTL (Pass The Loot) ministry will fade into the sunset while he spends the next 10 to 45 years in prison, though. You can bet your bottom dollar that Tammy Faye, weeping all the while, will con- tinue the fiasco. As for the $500,000 fine -- what a joke that is. Now, I'm only guessing here, but wouldn't you assume that is how much Tammy Faye spends on mascara and facial tissues each year. All kidding aside for the moment, there is a sad reality to this story: People will continue to send money to this bogus ministry. Thou- sands more will be fleeced of their social se- curity checks and those who have already re- alized their mistake in funding the "charity" will never get their money back. "I have sinned. But never in my life did | in- tend to defraud," Jimmy is quoted as saying. Sure he's going to admit that he sinned. That's all part of the Fundamentalist faith. But just how, Jimmy, did the contributions for the PTL Club end up paying for all those fancy cars, homes and jewelry if you didn't intend to defraud? Yes, Jimmy. You got some pretty easy treatment when they handed down the sen- tence. I think Arsenio Hall said it best: "What would you prefer? Forty-five years in jail or a life sentence with Tammy Faye?"
