Besides the general incoherence of the piece, it contains misleading statements concerning the work of Haymarket. The second paragraph begins with the "quote:" "What we're doing is organizing the working classes, women and others, directly affected by the worst aspects of capitalism to get together and question the mold society has put them into." The Haymarket staff is not organizing any constituency, nor would presume to. Haymarket serves as a resource to grassroots community organizations which are doing organizing work for the purpose of empowering their membership and working people in their struggle for control over their own lives...
...references to Jos Sedley, the buffoon in Vanity Fair, underscores the scope of Darwin's literary erudition, if not his uncanny ability to always fit the quote to the situation at hand. It is a difficult task indeed to find a paragraph in Mostly Golf free of a literary snippet.

Darwin wrote this essay after reading over his boyhood diary and discovering that he usually played his first eighteen of the spring sometime during the past week. Long after those youthful eighteens, he recalls...
...class with Lupe Velez and Luis Tiant--all unintelligible delights. David Levi as Sonya Vabitsche looks like a very funny lab sample of Venereal Disease germs and David Merrill as Ophelia Heartbeat is a knockout. The rest of the cast works well, too. But an extension of this paragraph must go to Japes Emerson, who plays Cardinal Cynne. Leering with the shifty paranoia of a male Jane Curtin, Emerson moves, under his clerical robes and Rasputin beard, with a pneumatic grace and, except for a deficient malevolent laugh, his voice is the silky articulator of a deft cartoon of nastiness...
...requires an assessment of a weapon's impact on arms control before it is tested. But the Ford Administration made a mockery of the entire process. The statements' discussion of the impact of the cruise missile ran just two sentences; the B-1 bomber was given a short paragraph explaining that the number of bombers planned for procurement fit neatly under the ceilings negotiated at Vladivostok. The ACDA, under Warnke's predecessor Fred Ikle, politely acquiesced in the Pentagon's legalistic abortion of Congressional intent...
