After establishing solid relationships with retailers, Luros set up the periodical distribution network that would be key to his empire-building success, PARLIAMENT NEWS distributors.  Once the pipeline had been built, it was only a question of how to fill it and keep it flowing and here Luros was more than able.  Truly relishing the human form for all its aesthetic wonder was only one aspect of Milton Luros strengths as a publisher.  He was committed to producing magazines of superior quality both in form as well as content -- as evidenced by the bright glossy paper stock which preserves his sumptuous quirky photo spreads to the present day.

The last chapter of the Parliament magazine empire introduces a new character, Reuben Sturman, the Cleveland-based porn emporer whose distribution domain extended from Detroit to Denmark.  For years throughout the 1960s, Sturman had been interested in partnering or simply buying out Luros' magazine production/distribution operations (to conquer the West coast of America), but his advances were consistantly rebuffed.  When Federal prosecutors were hounding Luros in the early 1970s, Luros finally relented and sold Parliament News to Sturman, and over the next several years, Parliament magazines and Eros-Goldstripe magazines intermingled titles, text, photographs and editorial content.  Sad to say, the genuine passion for eros as art that burned in Milton Luros (and made his productions unique) was sorely lacking in the post-Luros Parliament magazines and the adult entertainment world became a less interesting place with his departure.
