...feud between Oberon and Titania, the presiding deities. The explosive initial entrance of the lovers and Egeus, grunting and panting, or the encounter between Puck and one of Titania's fairies, each bristling, spitting and snarling like primates in some mating ritual--scenes like these present a quarrel-lust that grips like a disease and only passes after the transformational night in the forest...
...construction worker's yell at dawn. The faces stare back at me--a tired traffic cop; the bag lady, waking from a night's sleep in front of a burnt-out marquee; the sleazy bum waiting for Caesar's massage parlor to open its doors to all his lust. By the end of the summer I told time by these people. Their habits were so fixed that I knew I was late to work if the doors to Adam and Eve's sex palace were already open or if the bag lady had moved to another concrete hotel...
...issue which he never really resolves, but which provides an excellent vehicle for exploring his relationships to his father, friends and neighbors.

Please, our warriors and their females and children lust to die so that they may live free. We are not concerned with your geopolitical strategic considerations. But we are prepared to pay any price and bear any burden in order to defend our own democratic and beneficial civilization. Our families are not averse to suffering in order to preserve the conditions they have grown...
Worse, many of these jokes aimed at the biggest problems with the Law School: the inhuman competition, the grade-lust, the Brooks Brothers suit and the job on Wall Street after graduation. These are fit objects for satire, but not when the satirists are the villains themselves--then the humor is only a device to distance these people from their own guilt. It is offensive to hear somebody yuk it up about working for Cravath, Swaine and then go interview with them the next day. Yukking it up about corporate fascism makes it a lot easier to live with yourself...
