It was mostly the S & M scenes that were cut to make
Solomon's Vineyard into Fifth Grave. Sure, they're pretty
mild by today's standards, but so are many of the books that
were once considered pure porn -- Donald Westlake describes
the soft-core porn books he wrote early in his career as
"euphemism books," because you couldn't come right out and
say anything, all you could do was hint. This was in the
early '60s, a decade later than Solomon's Vineyard.
