People like Hof should be thrown into prison for human trafficking, not glorified in the media. Men have no "right" to sex. Sex is not a "need." Women do not owe men one thing. Women are not objects to be bought and sold. It takes a sociopathic mentality to buy and sell women. The Nordic model should be in every country, with men who buy women and men who traffic in them thrown into jail and labeled sex offenders for life. That would all but end this filthy enterprise which is human rights abuse.

Time for a couple of obits:
Actor Joseph Capanella, 93, one of those actors I would see time again on television shows, has died. He made over 200 appearances over the years on television. He was also a noted stage actor.
Campanella, whose career as a TV actor began in the 1950s, appeared in supporting roles on dozens of TV series, including “Route 66,” “The Fugitive,” and “Mission: Impossible.” From 1969 to 1972 he starred alongside Burl Ives in the law drama, “The Bold Ones: The Lawyers.” He also gave an Emmy-nominated performance as private investigator Joe Mannix’ boss in the first season of “Mannix.”
He was nominated for a Tony award for supporting actor in 1962 for his performance in the Broadway production of “A Gift of Time,” starring Henry Fonda and Olivia de Havilland.

Celebrated writer Tom Wolfe, 88, has died after suffering from an infection. Always dressed in white for some damned reason, he authored best selling books like The Bonfire of the Vanities and The Right Stuff, both of which were made into movies. He knew how to make money and he didn't starve like most would-be writers do.
Wolfe was one of the best known writers of what was known as "The New Journalism."
His hyperbolic, stylized writing work was a gleeful fusillade of exclamation points, italics and improbable words. An ingenious phrase maker, he branded such expressions as "radical chic" for rich liberals' fascination with revolutionaries; and the "Me" generation, defining the self-absorbed babyboomers of the 1970s.
Wolfe was both a literary upstart, sneering at the perceived stuffiness of the publishing establishment, and an old-school gentleman who went to the best schools and when attending promotional luncheons with fellow authors would make a point of reading their latest work._____
Yes, in May 1973 at Pimlico, the time did not stand still.
