Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News have more than doubled their profit margins, to nearly 19 percent, but that is still less than the 21 percent margin set by their parent company, Knight-Ridder; this has prompted talk about 5 percent budget cuts and increased anxiety in newsrooms; two Philadelphia dailies have been caught between local advertising downturn and 14 percent uptick in newsprint prices; making 21 percent in 2001 without budget cuts is improbable; journalists wonder how often their newspapers can go through budget and staff shakedowns and still keep journalistic ambitions intact; photos (M)

Changes in technology, coupled with court decision providing broad legal protections, have made pornography more easily obtainable in home and transformed it into $10 billion annual industry in US; financial rewards are so great that some of biggest distributors of sex on film and on Internet include country's most recognizable corporate names, including General Motors Corp, EchoStar Communications Corp, AT&T Corp, Liberty Media, Marriott International, On Command, LodgeNet Entertainment and News Corp; major satellite and cable companies do very little marketing of X-rated products, which are not mentioned in annual reports except in vaguest of euphemisms; hotel industry estimates at least half of all guests buy pay-per-view movies, which may generate about $190 million in annual sales; Americans buy or rent at home more than $4 billion annually in graphic sex videos from retail outlets and spend additional $800 million on less explicit sexual films; sex is one of few things that prompts large numbers of people to disclose credit card numbers on Internet, where one in four regular users, or 21 million Americans, visits more than one of 60,000 sex sites at least once per month--more than go to sports or government sites; photos; map; charts (L)

Latest New York Times/CBS News Poll finds that even after absorbing three debates and months of campaigning, American voters are thoroughly ambivalent about their choices for president, still vexed by doubts about Vice Pres Al Gore's sincerity and Gov George W Bush's preparedness; voters view Gore as more caring, closer to them on issues and generally more capable than Bush, but they do not fully embrace him; many perceive Gore as too smart for his own good and believe that in debate spent too much time showing off his knowledge and not enough talking about his personal side; Bush helped his candidacy in debates, but nearly half of those surveyed voice particular doubts about his ability to navigate international crises; neither candidate has established appreciable edge 15 days before election, in what has become closest presidential race since 1980; among likely voters, Bush draws 44 percent, with 42 percent for Gore; Ralph Nader is supported by 4 percent of likely voters and Patrick J Buchanan 1 percent; charts (M)
