...conceivable that concern over the incessant widening of this ghastly war amounts to something a little more than what you vacuously call "your son's moral objections to various features of our society?" Is it not barely conceivable that a war which posterity will very likely regard as the most unintelligible in our history might justifiably produce a certain mild disquietude on the part of those who may be called upon to fight...
Since such proposals may lead to even more roadside signs, there is increasing concern that the posts bearing them may be themselves not unduly dangerous. The Federal Department of Transportation is placing top priority on development and distribution of signposts with so-called "frangibility," meaning that they break away on impact. After a motorist in Texas was killed crashing into a conventional post, the state replaced it with a frangible one; a few days later, right on schedule, another driver plowed into the new post-and walked away without a scratch...

In fact, O'Hara shows the tension between sex and love, between lechery and devotion, operating like a knife on his characters. But by instinct or insight, O'Hara cannot glorify heterosexual love and its institutionalization in monogamy. Gamy as ever, cruelly vital, the anti-intellectual O'Hara has written an intellectual novel in disguise, about what love...
