...Woodward needed to see Deep Throat, the reporter would send a signal by moving a flower pot with a red flag in it to the rear of his apartment balcony; by prearrangement the two would then meet about 2 a.m. in an underground garage. If Deep Throat wanted to set up a meeting, he would send a message via Woodward's morning copy of the New York Times; on the lower corner of page 20, clock hands would be drawn to indicate the time of the rendezvous. Woodward says he never figured out how Deep Throat got hold...

Harvard's earmaking of funds for special purposes, not a real shortage, is apparently the problem...
Isadora evolves the fantasy of the "zipless fuck" to deal with the problem. The zipless fuck is the platonic ideal in the newest sense of the word: you meet a strange male, your clothes fall off like flower petals, you come together in one soulbending mindbodyfuck, faceless, nameless, no ties, no commitments. It is to be a Last Tango, quick and compressed like a dream. (Erica Jong likes the bigger than life words, the exaggerated scene. Life for her people is one big high. If she doesn't dream big, she doesn't dream--when she dreams about getting laid...
