...probably the reason the cast and creators of this musical go to such lengths and expense to embarrass themselves is that this is what their audience wants. Hasty Pudding musicals apparently are created to give brief life to the naive, sick fantasies of pathetic old final clubbies and their frigid wives. On opening night, this segment of the audience went wild with hysteria over every tasteless innuendo.

Jesse James. Some psychoanalysts believe it is the lonely prostitute's need to feel cared for by someone that binds her to her pimp. Others think that what cements the bond is non-threatening sex: prostitutes are often frigid, pimps latently homosexual.

...week's end Lunokhod had clearly lived up to Soviet expectations. To cope with the frigid temperatures of the approaching two-week-long lunar night, the Russians will probably power down the vehicle, allowing it to "hibernate" until it can again draw energy from the sun. If it survives the extreme cold ( -250°F.), Kaminski predicted, it might well resume its explorations, eventually traveling hundreds of miles from the landing site-provided no other calamity befalls it. The Russians themselves were not inclined to make any risky predictions. But they did say that in the future more advanced...

...something about it yourself, how difficult it is to make it on your own as a woman in this society facing the psychological and physical pressures of bad affairs, social intimidation ("What's wrong with you, are you promiscuous, don't you, like children, are you frigid, didn't anyone want to marry you, etc."), and, even more important, lousy work possibilities...
