Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or memoir (likely by Alan Dershowitz, given the 'pornocrat lawyer' and 'Harvard Square deli' context) included in House Oversight materials. It discusses the controversy surrounding the film *Deep Throat*, contrasting Gloria Steinem's view of Linda Lovelace as a victim with actor Harry Reems' claim that Lovelace was a willing participant. The text details the author's conversation with Reems and the subsequent feminist backlash and boycotts against the author for representing industry figures.
