Moral Majority leader Jerry Falwell, speaking at a fund-raiser in Tucson, said that he expects a national boycott of 7-Eleven stores within a few months unless the 7,500-store chain orders a halt to sales of such magazines as Penthouse and Playboy. He said he hopes “7-Eleven will cave in because it’s right, not because they have to.” Falwell said that about 6,000 retail stores already have “removed pornography from their shelves in the last few months.”
