...thing disturbs me (did it disturb the Pudding alumni who sat wonderingly through remarks about current provincialisms like psilocybin pie?) That is Tickle Me Pink's theme of horror. "Don't Let Them Dance" sings a dreary chorus to the badly frightened Hardy: and Act II opens with Hardy's nightmare, in which shadowy figures point accusation at him, and dance around him in hysterical, threatening circles. It is the symbolism of Duerenmatt and not of the Hasty Pudding; why is it here, among the chorus girls, invading the laughing...
...extent to which Salinger panders to the young. In fact, the author said himself, in a Time magazine interview last year, that his true audience is "too small to take my books off the shelf." Salinger's world is like fairyland in its unreality; no unpleasant adult conflicts disturb the wonderful Glasses as they grow up.

...collect insurance on them as "jettisoned cargo." In the parliamentary investigations that followed, slavers vied with one another in painting the slaves' happy life aboard ship. "When sailors are flogged," one piously testified, "it is always done out of hearing of the Africans so as not to disturb them." What shocked Britons almost as much as the treatment of slaves was the lot of white seamen. One captain force-fed a member of his crew on live cockroaches, and floggings regularly resulted in death. Proportionately, almdst twice as many crewmen died as slaves-their mortality rate ran to more...
