...sadism because they are already sadistic. Political Scientist Wilson Carey McWilliams argues this point well: "Degeneracy becomes socially visible, emerging from underground, only when it has reason to expect a welcome. Certainly this is the case in relation to sexuality. Our verbal sexual morals had become nothing more than cant some time ago. Worse, they were a form of hypocrisy which discouraged respect...
...decide what it is that we need and want, and to begin to create a place and an atmosphere where we can find ourselves and fulfill our needs. The center is the experience of growth, of self-definition. What it is depends on what we make it be; we cant' wait around for "those women" to turn it into something we can relate to-but we can be there, we can live there and turn it into what we want it to be, for ourselves, for our sister, together, growing, strong...

Core of Passion. Under its suavely British surface, Sleuth contains some bitterly anti-British sentiments. The celebrated games-playing vocabulary of the Englishwith terms like fair play and a sporting chanceis cant in Shaffer's view. It masks some bloody-minded bigotry and is no sounder a guide to the British national character than the ritualized tea ceremony is to that of the Japanese. Wyke is very pukka. Tindle is half Italian with a half-Jewish father. Wyke can be loftily amusing about this ("Some of my best friends are half-Jews...
