...Peter Tarnopol-the protagonist-victim in Roth's My Life as a Man-The Professor of Desire is not simply a rehash of the earlier books. Kepesh's monologue is a more humane and thoughtful handling of the subject that has fascinated and obsessed Roth in print for the past ten years: the woebegone, self-destructive tug of war between high aspirations and low lusts. Kepesh is another of Roth's Jewish centaurs, trying to keep his head in a cloud of pipe smoke while ignoring his pawing hooves...
...Hoge, editor in chief of Chicago's Sun-Times and Daily News. "If you don't vigorously go after the story, people say you're lazy. If you do, people say you are picking on the people involved. You just have to continue to dig and print what you think is newsworthy."

Bowdlerism is nothing new at American newspapers. Many dailies reject offensively prurient ads on a case-by-case basis, and some papers print them only after extensive doctoring. Vernon Johnston, advertising ombudsman of the Louisville Times and Courier-Journal, simply blacks out with his felt-tip pen any anatomical displays that trouble him.

Other papers have for years had policies banning or limiting adult-film advertising, among them the Detroit News, Cleveland Plain Dealer and Miami Herald.
