...natural function, to be sure, says Stoller, but it is dominated by painful undercurrents from the past. Sex fantasies are not idle daydreams but carefully coded scripts by which the inner mind seeks to work out lingering problems from childhood. These scripts help determine whom the adult will be attracted to, how the sexual partner will be dealt with, and even what sexual positions are likely to be preferred. "Sexual excitement depends on a scenario," says Stoller. "The person to be aroused is the 'writer,' who has been at work on the story line since childhood." The writer...
Hell as well as Heaven. Absent is a brooding Satan or a slick Beelzebub to direct the traffic of the damned. Elkin's Hell is an anarchic ghetto, "the ultimate inner city" in perpetual and agonizing meltdown. "Its stinking sulfurous streets were unsafe," he writes. "Pointless, profitless muggings were commonplace; joyless rape that punished its victims and offered no relief to the perpetrator. Everything was contagious, cancer as common as a cold, plague the quotidian. There was stomachache, headache, toothache, earache.

Moreover, the new President's men were eager to do more than just finish Henry Kissinger's work for him. On a loftier plane, the Carter inner circle had an idealistic commitment to "real arms control"?measures to halt the arms race rather than merely establish rules for competition?and they felt that in the postInaugural honeymoon they had a unique opportunity to move boldly in that direction...
Accordingly, the new Tory government she named on Saturday emerged as a diverse team ranging across a wide political spectrum. To be sure, a number of relatively unknown conservatives who make up Thatcher's "inner team" won places in the government. But many top jobs went to relatively liberal party veterans who have reservations about Thatcher's attitudes and judgment, and who will act as a brake on some of her more abrasive economic, social and foreign policy views...
