...Warm Bathtub. Sexus has a quality of self-admitted buffoonery; inexhaustible potency and insatiable partners are not part of the real world. It is also horrendous in its details, all relentlessly chronicled in the most basic English. To say that it is monumentally tasteless is to say the obvious; that was clearly Miller's intention. But at least, unlike so much current pornography, it is not homosexual or death-ridden. Many of its 40-odd sexual encounters are just splashings in Miller's warm-bathtub world of woozy friendship...
...Hello," says Phyllis McGinley Hayden. A pause. "Yes, this is she." Another pause. "Well, I just got out of the bathtub and I haven't any clothes on . . . Oh!" With this exclamation, in which delight and dismay mingle, she cups her hand over the speaker and shouts into the hall...

There Suzuki-san discusses the besuboru pennant race, and his wife, behind a flimsy partition (a late 19th century concession to Occidental...
...roaring '20s, the family comics came along. Such respectable folk as the Gumps neither played the stock market nor swilled bathtub gin; it was probably no accident that Andy Gump was chinless. Blondie began life as a sharp-tongued flapper, but she soon settled down to suburban housewifely routine and is still the most widely read strip.* Little Orphan Annie veered from the family pattern since she lacked parents. But Daddy Warbucks, a billionaire arms manufacturer, has more than made up for their absence. With his help, ageless Annie has plowed under no end of evildoers while issuing...
