underdevel-  \u003Cbr>oped sense of proportion and consid-  \u003Cbr>erable want of editorial supervision.  \u003Cbr>Nevertheless,in many respects Thy  \u003Cbr>Neighbor's Wife is a noteworthy con-  \u003Cbr>tribution to the recently inaugurated  \u003Cbr>history of popular culture,subdivision:  \u003Cbr>trendy sex.  \u003Cbr>It also represents something of a  \u003Cbr>journalistic tour de force,a sex-  \u003Cbr>junkie's War and Peace in which ap-  \u003Cbr>parently unconnected people and ir-  \u003Cbr>relevant events are revealed to possess  \u003Cbr>odd and surprising interrelations,if ex-  \u003Cbr>actly to what they are relevant we are  \u003Cbr>left at times in doubt.  \u003Cbr>Talese devoted eight years of his life  \u003Cbr>to consumer sex research,and another  \u003Cbr>year putting it on paper.An ardent re-  \u003Cbr>porter,he not only directly interviewed  \u003Cbr>most of the living personae but fre-  \u003Cbr>quented porno shops,nudist camps  \u003Cbr>and massage parlors,even working in  \u003Cbr>one of the latter as a manager for sev-  \u003Cbr>eral weeks in order to question both  \u003Cbr>customers and masseuses.  \u003Cbr>Another Disenchanted Catholic,  \u003Cbr>Talese finds the Church,particularly  \u003Cbr>its Irish element,to be the chief in-  \u003Cbr>stigator of the suppression of sex by  \u003Cbr>restricting intercourse to the married  \u003Cbr>state and frowning remorselessly on  \u003Cbr>masturbation and other contemporary  \u003Cbr>diversions such as adultery.   | At bottom,Thy Neighbor's Wife is a  \u003Cbr>convoluted exposition of two tenu-  \u003Cbr>ously related areas of recent sexual  \u003Cbr>\"progress\"—the commercial publica-  \u003Cbr>tion of sexually explicit writing and  \u003Cbr>photographs for entertainment (known  \u003Cbr>to its opponents variously as por-  \u003Cbr>nography,obscenity,smut and filth),  \u003Cbr>and,second,the development of sex-  \u003Cbr>ually emancipated commercial service  \u003Cbr>stations from the sophisticated en-  \u003Cbr>counters of the \"ballroom\"of Califor-  \u003Cbr>nia's Sandstone retreat,to New York's  \u003Cbr>tawdrymassage salons.  \u003Cbr>Talese executes his narrative by  \u003Cbr>means of case hstories of supposedly  \u003Cbr>typical protagonists of the new sexual-  \u003Cbr>ity,such as the ascent of Chicago's  \u003Cbr>Harold Rubin from obscurity to the  \u003Cbr>relative fame of a massage parlor  \u003Cbr>operator,Hugh Hefner's meteoric suc-  \u003Cbr>cess and subsequent emotional dilem-  \u003Cbr>mas,William Hamling's unsuccessful  \u003Cbr>appeal to the Supreme Court of a por-  \u003Cbr>nography conviction,and the evolu-  \u003Cbr>tion of John Williamson's Sandstone.  \u003Cbr>The Sandstone Story surely provides  \u003Cbr>the central \"plot\"of the hefty volume,  \u003Cbr>being awarded eleven of twenty-five  \u003Cbr>chapters and a chunk of the epilogue.  \u003Cbr>Unfortunately,Talese seems unable to  \u003Cbr>have achieved much of a resolution to  \u003Cbr>the often melodramatic conflicts of  \u003Cbr>his cast.Similarly,the Hefner Chroni-
