...months to 82 years. We are all vulnerable; those who claim otherwise are foolhardy. Having grown up in a high rape area in New York City, and having escaped untouched, I used to scorn women who took (reasonable) precautions. "They can smell you're scared," I used to chide them, "You're turning yourself into an easy prey." Nobody would mess with a strapping 6-ft. woman like me, I used to think. But I was very wrong...
...moments of low comedy, all inadvertent, as when Abby beats up on her husband, croaking "You are gonna love and obey!" as she pummels him. The rampant foolishness, indeed, may be part of the point.

Upset about the response, some NBC affiliates went out of their way to chide the network. In Nashville, which takes justifiable pride in its sophistication, WSM-TV received 70 calls protesting the rape scene in the first hour after the show; this prompted one station official to tell a local reporter that NBC was solely to blame for the "filthy, disgusting, degrading" show. In fact, final...
