Betty, Louise Tchekan, Franck Versace, David Perry, Richard Langin, Jean

main character; other than her, the matching of players to faces is
anybody's guess.)
PLAYBOOK
THE TOWER is a hardcore remake of the Sharon Stone vehicle, SLIVER. In
that film, a series of murders in an exclusive New York highrise entangle
a new tenant in an erotic mystery, complicated by a voyeur who spies on
the sex lives of the tenants via the building's elaborate security
system. The setup in THE TOWER is identical, and most of the sex scenes
are intercut with views of the footage as seen on the voyeur's many video
monitors.
1 - Brief rooftop scene, shown on the black and white monitor of the
voyeur, in which a woman is thrown to her death after giving a faceless
man a rather tame blowjob.
2 - Aliza, a bleached blonde with enhanced breasts, negotiates her deal
with the real estate agent in true Private fashion. BJ, fucking (spoon,
cowgirl, DS, reverse cowgirl, and standing.) Okay facial finish.
3 - A week later, a cute reddish/brunette does the faceless man in a room
filled with videotapes. The man talks constantly in French, but is not
translated on the subtitles. BJ, fucking (bent over table, cowgirl,
missionary), anal (missionary, spoon, dogstyle). Nice dogstyle anal
finish on her open asshole. I liked this woman - her smallish, natural
breasts bounce prettily when she's fucking. One of the better scenes on
the tape.
4 - Aliza slips out of a tight dress and into a bubble bath. Brief
masturbation scene follows. Aliza has a hard time pretending she's
aroused here, and the scene is not particularly hot.
4a - Non-sex linking scene, as the brunette from scene 3 is found dead in
a dumpster.
5 - Aliza's blonde friend rings her doorbell. They exchange a few words
to move the "plot" along, then we follow the blonde to her apartment,
where her husband is entertaining a male friend. The hubby offers her to
the friend. Brief cunnilingus by hubby, while she sucks the friend's
enormous cock, then simultaneous fucking and sucking in cowgirl and spoon
positions. Dogstyle anal follows by both the husband and the friend, then
reverse anal cowgirl by the husband. A simulated DP is shown in medium
shot only, no closeup, a surprising cheat in a Private tape. Double
facial finish. The chemistry between the blonde and the big-dicked friend
is good & his huge cock looks very nice in her tightly stretched ass.
Unfortunately, the whole scene is undercut by the husband's inability to
become more than half-erect for any length of time. He barely dribbles a
few drops on her face in the finish. A shame, because if he'd delivered
up as much as his friend, this would have been a memorable facial.
6 - Aliza shows up late for work. Her blonde coworker (enhanced breasts
again!) follows her into her office, and lifts her skirt to show off her
new panties. The boss catches them, and calls the coworker into his
office. He makes her lift her skirt, then strip for him, and finally she
lays across his desk and begins sucking his cock. He fucks her on the
desk (missionary and dogstyle), after which they get into a 69. They
uncouple and he has her dance for him on the desk. Then more fucking -
cowgirl & reverse cowgirl, which then turns into a pretty forceful
reverse anal cowgirl. Return to fucking for a moment, dogstyle, then
dogstyle anal. Finish is a splattery and well-taken facial. Both of them
were pretty enthusiastic in this scene, the hottest on the tape.
7 - Two cops show up at the door of a rich tenant and his two women, a
blonde and a black-haired one, both with enhanced breasts. The man leaves
after being questioned. When the cops ask the women what they've seen,
they reply, "We're being kept by a rich guy who never fucks us." The cops
do their public duty. Brief cunnilingus, then both women do cowgirl,
reverse cowgirl, anal, reverse anal cowgirl, and DP. There are nice facials
for both women.
8 - In a scene straight out of SLIVER, Aliza is picked up by one of her
neighbors while jogging. They go back to his apartment to fuck.
Cunnilingus, sucking, fucking (cowgirl, spoon, dogstyle), and anal
(missionary and reverse anal cowgirl). She sucks him, and he cums some on
her face and even more on her tits. After opening a bottle of champagne,
the neighbor reveals himself to be the building's voyeur, and the title
appears.... TO BE CONTINUED.... in THE TOWER II.
COMMENTS
This tape has all the signature Private elements: European scenery, high
gloss production, excellent videography, and, of course, lots of
Eurosluts performing sleazy sex acts. But I wasn't too thrilled with THE
TOWER overall.
For one thing, most of the women seemed to be going through the motions.
Nice motions, to be sure - Private is too professional an outfit to let
mediocrity completely overtake them at this stage of the game - but
nobody stood out as being particularly into the sex. The only exception
is the scene in the office, which has some of the familiar Private heat.
The scene with the limp husband was inexcusable. If the actor couldn't
get an erection, the director should have simply removed him from the
scene and let the blonde and the big-dicked friend have at it. They were
very good together, and the husband's presence really detracted from the
scene.
I haven't seen many of the more recent Private releases, and I hope the
high percentage of breast-enhanced women in this tape is a fluke and not a
new direction for the company. One of the reasons I like Eurosmut so much
is the opportunity to see naturally endowed women. Aliza's breast job is
forgivable in a way; she's a very large woman, with meaty long legs and a
nice big ass, and her personality is such that one is led to believe she's
genuinely happy with her enlarged chest. The others, though, are just
wearing them, and not very well. (The brunette in the video library scene
really stands out in contrast - her tiny breasts bounce and flutter most
invitingly as she's getting fucked hard by the mystery man.)
One more observation - the sex in THE TOWER is a little rougher than some
of the other Private tapes I've seen. In nearly every scene, the men grab
the women by the hair, slap them on the ass while fucking them, call them
names, etc. If you really don't like that sort of thing, you might want
to avoid the tape. To me it wasn't at all offputting (as it is, say, when
TT Boy does it), since the Europeans seem more relaxed and comfortable
with that sort of passion. Seeing it done well, I'm reminded how much I'd
love to see Private do a true hardcore B&D tape!

169 “I can arrange all that.” Such Apaches as had not gone back on the war-path returned to the States with the troops; but there were five months more of the outrages of Geronimo and his kind. Then in the summer of the year another man, more fortunate and better fitted to deal with it all, perhaps,—with the tangle of lies and deceptions, cross purposes and trickery,—succeeded where Crook had failed and had been relieved of a task that was beyond him. Geronimo was captured, and was hurried off to a Florida prison with his band, as far as they well could be from the reservation they had refused to accept. And with them were sent other Indians, who had been the friends and helpers of the government for years, and who had run great risks to help or to obtain peace. But the memory and gratitude of governments is become a proverb. The southwest settled down to enjoy its safety. The troops rested upon the laurels they had won, the superseded general went on with his work in another field far away to the north. The new general, the saviour of the land, was heaped[Pg 305] with honor and praise, and the path of civilization was laid clear. Parliament met on the 10th of January, 1765. The resentment of the Americans had reached the ears of the Ministry and the king, yet both continued determined to proceed. In the interviews which Franklin and the other agents had with the Ministers, Grenville begged them to point to any other tax that would be more agreeable to the colonists than the stamp-duty; but they without any real legal grounds drew the line between levying custom and imposing an inland tax. Grenville paid no attention to these representations. Fifty-five resolutions, prepared by a committee of ways and means, were laid by him on the table of the House of Commons at an early day of the Session, imposing on America nearly the same stamp-duties as were already in practical operation in England. These resolutions being adopted, were embodied in a bill; and when it was introduced to the House, it was received with an apathy which betrayed on all hands the profoundest ignorance of its importance. Burke, who was a spectator of the debates in both Houses, in a speech some years afterwards, stated that he never heard a more languid debate than that in the Commons. Only two or three persons spoke against the measure and that with great composure. There was but one division in the whole progress of the Bill, and the minority did not reach to more than thirty-nine or forty. In the Lords, he said, there was, to the best of his recollection, neither division nor debate! His cheek paled for an instant as the thought obtruded that the man might resist and he have to really shoot him. "Good, the old man's goin' to take the grub out to 'em himself," thought the Deacon with relief. "He'll be easy to manage. No need o' shootin' him." "Them that we shot?" said Shorty carelessly, feeling around for his tobacco to refill his pipe. "Nothin'. I guess we've done enough for 'em already." John Dodd, twenty-seven years old, master, part of the third generation, arranged his chair carefully so that it faced the door of the Commons Room, letting the light from the great window illumine the back of his head. He clasped his hands in his lap in a single, nervous gesture, never noticing that the light gave him a faint saintlike halo about his feathery hair. His companion took another chair, set it at right angles to Dodd's and gave it long and thoughtful consideration, as if the act of sitting down were something new and untried. "Besides," Norma said desperately, "they're only rumors—" "Oh, I've found a way of gitting shut of them rootses—thought of it while I wur working at the trees. I'm going to blast 'em out." During the next ten years the farm went forward by strides. Reuben bought seven more acres of Boarzell in '59, and fourteen in '60. He also bought a horse-rake, and threshed by machinery. He was now a topic in every public-house from Northiam to Rye. His success and the scant trouble he took to conciliate those about him had made him disliked. Unprosperous farmers[Pg 124] spoke windily of "spoiling his liddle game." Ditch and Ginner even suggested to Vennal that they should club together and buy thirty acres or so of the Moor themselves, just to spite him. However, money was too precious to throw away even on such an object, especially as everyone felt sure that Backfield would sooner or later "bust himself" in his dealings with Boarzell. "Let's go home," she said faintly—"it's getting late."
