...broadside was in no way actionable. Radio stations across the country generally played uncensored interviews with the Congressmen who overheard Carter's statement. A few television newscasts, though, avoided mention of the indelicate word. Jim Ruddle, anchorman at Chicago's WMAQ-TV, used the term posterior, and Tom Brokaw of NBC'S Today show mumbled slyly about a "three-letter part of the anatomy that's somewhere near the bottom."

There were Richard's financial problems, Mrs. Bridges' pots of tea, Hudson's growing dismay at a changing world, and Hazel's pained middle-class presence in a household of extremes. There...
...been produced by his richly informed subconscious. Naturally there are the classic ottomans and clawfoot sofas, the glut of silver tea sets and bridal breakfast services. But there are also treasures from the velvet underground: choice items of bondage, plush Sadean literature, punishment costumes featuring removable posterior panels. It is all only a dream, of course. But in a way, Moore reminds us, so were the Victorians, and their residue remains as solid as mahogany...
