Well and good, perhaps, for most view- ers. But for some, this heavy-handed at- tempt at being arty is intrusive. Why gild the lily? Can the well-built, naturally-naked male body really be enhanced by moody lighting, creative angles, electronic music and artificial fog? Like the men's bodies, would it not be better to just give it to us straight and unembellished? But this is a minor critique. Indeed, this viewer wishes the tape were longer. It ends much too soon. But, of course, that re- flects the show business axiom "Always leave them begging for more." Because straight men don't appreciate masculine beauty-that shows everything -as well as gay men do, the producers have advised, "viewer discretion." There- fore, you won't find this jewel at your local Blockbuster. Instead, spend your bucks at video outlets that caterto and support our community. It's well worth the rental price.

The trust company or escrow agent is a licensed trust company, a finan- cial institution or licensed individual (such asan attorney, CPA, etc.) who is contracted bYthe provider to act as a third party in the viatical settlement. New legislation will re- quire that the contract between the pro- vider and the escrow/trust entity be re- viewed by the Insurance Commission. The commission will ensure that the contract protects the viator as well as the provider. The trust/escrow agent accepts the final documents; sends the change of owner- ship forms to the insurance company; and holds the original policy as well as the pro- vider's funds. When the insurance com- pany accepts the change of ownership to the provider, the funds are then wired to the viator. Without an escrow/trust agent, you could easily lose your rights to the policy and receive no money! I state this from per- sonal experience. Never sign a final offer or a change of ownership or beneficiary form unless a trust/escrow agent is used. Never send the original policy directly to the provider. The insurance company's change forms and the policy should both be sent only to the trust/escrow agent. The percentage offered and the number of years' premiums deducted are deter- mined in most cases by the face value of the policy, the viator's T-cell count and the absence or presence of opportunistic in- Weeldy Specials fections.

All of this to prove that, just like THIS WEEK IN TEXAS, gay men and "~f' lesbians really are everywhere in the Lone Star State. As THIS WEEK IN TEXAS begins its 20th year of publication, it's important to thank the gay and lesbian community for the tremen- dous support they have always given our magazine. Without that support, there quite simply would be no magazine. We have always strived to be represen- tative of the gay community of Texas as a whole-to be a reflection of the trends and ideas that make us all so uniquely Texan. w.~~ We will continue to do so for as long as there are readers who want to know what's • .. going on THIS WEEK IN TEXAS. .0#
