Tate had to cope with such public relations nightmares as the "tiny little gun" the First Lady kept in her nightstand, the lavish redecoration of the White House and the $209,508 bill for new china.

...permit printing--the one existing copy has been seized by the authorities. Nevertheless, a partial summary is availablbe: Fanny Hill, with 26 seductions and submissions plus 11 titillations, over 47 incidents of literary or historical interest, yields a density of only 79. Wall Street Wanton, "an original Nightstand Book," sports 16 erogenous incidents. These produce a density of 16.00, since the volume has only one mitigating feature, the historical comparison it suggests between the wholesome perserverance of Horatio Alger's heroes and Cindy Smith's way of making it to the top today.
