...paid as much as a 9-5 president of Warner Brothers. How can a Beverly Hills producer relate to that? They would like to see white people give back the red man, the black man, the yel-???v man, his land, his freedom... but then who would play the inferior enemy in the western, the war film, who would say "bwana" on safari? They would like to see sexual equilibrium. But then would could tolerate Eliot Gould's lines in Getting Straight: "She's a good scientist, lousy lay"; Candice Bergen's lines, "I didn't even feel like...
...beginning of a blessed reduction into soulless, primordial atoms. He observes that power is customarily pursued for its own sake and dismisses idealism from political behavior. Wearily he views America as a violent, uncivilized land full of literal-minded people with no sense of paradox. Its writers are inferior to those of Europe, ditto its food, and its attitude toward taboos is infantile.

Ubique flagrat iniqua virorum dominatio...
...Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Elizabeth Blackwell, our Elizabeth Agassiz-who struggled courageously for suffrage, for womanly dignity, for an education and training for girls which would be equal to that of boys. At Harvard University, in America, in the world, woman's position is widely recognized to be inferior. Women have learned to despise themselves. Resources, opportunities and honors available to men are denied to women . . . Not yet can we lay down our weapons, my sisters, nor must we abandon so long and difficult a battle. Everywhere an iniquitous male supremacy is rampant...
...Radcliffe the situation is more complicated, because women do have the desire to succeed academically-but it must be remembered that academic success per se is a significantly inferior quality in a community where creativity and brilliance are the ideal, where men pride themselves on their capacity to spend a semester directing plays, then walk in to an exam and do as well as a woman who has spent the semester grinding...
