...wants to have the pleasure centers of his brain wired for continual stimulation (pages 82 to 84), and references throughout to the ascendancy of the machine. We are treated to a titillating hint of Janet's sex life (Arthur, the owner of "a yellow Ferrari, a lot of dash, and a lot of charm") and a non-stereotyped cop (Will he provide the love interest in the film?) who at one point indignantly announces that he's been to college...

I reported for Harvard's day of football where the newcomers to the Varsity are timed, and run through drills. I ran a 4.8 in the 40-yard dash.

...pointed at the ends like a silver Buck Rogers rocket ship -enough to frighten drivers off the road on Santa Monica Boulevard. North Hollywood's Nudie the Tailor glorified his Pontiac Bonneville with Western regalia. The religious here do not settle for plastic Jesuses on the dash, they erect whole creches and biblical scenes next to the Kleenex boxes in their back windows...
