...prohibition, like a bill be fore a House committee, sponsored by Massachusetts' Robert F. Drinan, that would forbid smoking in most waiting and boarding areas, and restrict it in military bases and federal buildings. As the Spokane Chronicle's John J. Lemon said of a similar ordi nance that had been proposed in Washington State, "The next victims of such rule making may be whistlers, gum chewers, bone crackers, dandruff scratchers, lint pickers and popcorn eat ers." Not to mention tooth pickers, gar lic eaters, liquor imbibers, belchers, non-bathers and puffers of pot at rock concerts...

Hamberger said he was so "greatly distressed" that he needed medical care, "and is still unable to properly perform his normal and ordi ary duties as a father and a husband." His wife claimed corresponding injuries...
Mailer has created a philosophy in this book that denies happiness without sex. There is no place in his world for ordi- nary morals or sentimentality--there is only room for what he calls "a good time." There is no religion, nor any idealism--only a desire to be free--and to be free, one must be able to choose whom he wants to sleep with. Thus Eitel in the end ultimately fails because he has married Elena out of pity and is forced to spend his nights with her. Sergius, on the other hand, escapes from Desert...
