Well, you can always write plays. The first act and a half of John Herbert's Fourtune and Men's Eyes, a 1967 Off-Broadway play now at the Craft Experimental Theatre, is full of today's fag minstrelsy. In this case, the setting is a Canadian men's prison. The inmates, three decidedly homosexual, the fourth forced to undergo the initiation, are the chorus. The star among them is Queenie.

Perhaps a good laugh can smother the little needle of guilt that accompanies it. In any case, by the time Cabaret reached New York, the line had been dropped...

Even if Volpe had tried to make a strong case for the SST, his stand would be flimsy. The arguments about the increased speed and efficiency of the supersonic planes sounded convincing three or four years ago; but since then, scientists have compiled a steadily-growing mound of evidence to suggest that those advantages are illusory...

America need to build a big, bumbling jet, he said, because the Russians and the French are building them. "The United States cannot afford to be a third-rate power in this kind of project." In pragmatic economic terms, the international-competition analysis suggests that the U.S. should quit the SST race. Since the French and Russians are at least two years ahead of the American SST pace, the tardy U.S. model would probably find few buyers in the international market...
