...there has been none. Few observers of the U.S. scene foresaw that political passions on the campuses would become muted in a new emphasis on "privatism." One who was right on, however, was Arthur Koestler, who said late in 1969 that writers and film makers "will discover again that pubic hair is less poetic than Gretchen's braids." The enormous success of Erich Segal's gushingly romantic film and novel Love Story has already proved him right...
...then say things like "There's good luck and bad luck," or "that's fate, hahaha." In the final scene, after Ocdipus has stumbled blindly across the stage out the door the cast does a copulation mime that features a man with an enormous dildo and a woman with pubic hair drawn on her leotard. It is like the TV show "Shindig," as the chorus groans antiphonally up to a very convincing orgasm. Lights out. That's demystification, allright, but it's also a pretty cheap trick to play on the Oedipus story...

It is possible, too, that a decline in the work ethic or a weakening of demand for material goods may disrupt the foundation of a hedonist civilization-the economy...
...figures chiseled out of Etruscan boulders include a 19-ft.-high elephant crushing a warrior in its trunk, a giant dismembering a man, a goddess with each pubic hair clearly delineated, and a 20-ft. satanic head whose mouth opens into a large chamber. These overwhelming creations are 50 miles north of Rome. It is known only that they were carved between 1555 and 1585 at the command of Duke Pier Francesco Orsini...
