...nuts? Is violence the way we resolve every domestic grievance, or is it just the quickest way to get on TV? With the Bobbitts, the Jacksons, the Menendez clan and that favorite new horror sitcom, The (O.J.) Simpsons, the American family has entered its postnuclear stage. Talk shows offer quack catharsis from every form of spousal and parental abuse. We're shouting at each other in National Enquirer headlines and have promoted tabloid newspapers and TV programs, once on the fringe of journalism, up to its hot center.

We cruised past the statue of Mrs. Mallard, Mack, Quack, Lack and the rest of the ducklings. We then headed up Beacon, passing the Common, where a really bad band was giving a free concert...
...saying that "abortion stops a beating heart", but what they leave out is that abortion ranks relatively low on the global list of things that end lives. In terms of volume, famine, pestilence, war and even heart disease are all far better equipped to truncate heartbeats than some quack with a knife and a vacuum tube...
