...Tripp, a pro-gay psychologist and author of The Homosexual Matrix, thinks sadomasochistic practices are rare in heterosexuality and virtually nonexistent among lesbians, but relatively frequent in homosexuality because of "the additive effect of two males together."

Pro-Whitney brokers passed out petition cards directed to the nominating committee and needing only a member's signature. "Tammany Tactics!" cried pro-Gay brokers. The plebeian New York Evening Journal even mailed out to all Stock Exchange members straw ballots which so alarmed the nominating committee that it dispatched a plea over the ticker requesting members to refrain from any & all unofficial voting.
