...Harkness, the narrator of Dealing. Of all the one-dimensional men to creep onto the written page, Harkness must be leader of the pack. Peter Harkness, rich New England Harvard freak. A freak in J. Press clothing. His likes: dope, cigarettes, dope, "TWA stewies," dope, pubic hair. His dislikes: pigs, his parents, pigs, the mornings before exams, pigs, the Porcellian Club, pigs, pigs. The stoned vs. the straight, the freak vs. the pig-that is his Manichean worldview. And so we follow Peter Harkness from Boston to Berkeley, his suitcase crammed with grass, his mind constantly finding newer and better...
...just be setting myself up for a rip-off if I ever got into any kind of hassle with the dude. Because if I got into a hassle, I'd still be a person, but he'd have to be a pig. It'd happened to me so many times, that whole riff...
Schwitters did not share the political militancy of other German Dadaists. He was less concerned with offing the pig than mocking it and making silk purses out of its ears.

The way it turned out, my father did not seem at all put out by Myrna's peace button, her Black Panther button, her S.D.S. button, her "Kill the Pigs" button, her bib overalls or her carefully teased blonde Afro wig. He didn't even wince when she accidentally let loose a - and a - over the Chianti, and a Holy -! and a - during the spaghetti. In fact, I could only see the faintest spark behind...
...Kaochung Middle School, Dai writes, had been taught to believe in dramatic solutions. Drenched in Maoist doctrine since birth, they had no use for original thought. "All we cared about was implementation and results." Getting results could just as easily mean dealing with counter-revolutionaries as with raising the pig-fat production quota. In fact, the "struggle" technique was the same for both-a sort of continuing pep rally, or ideological mass rape, during which all opposition is drowned in slogans, charges and insults...
