...pearls and garden-party hats draw parodists' attention more irresistibly than do similar badges of class in male M.P.s. Says one Conservative backbencher: "She's not only a woman. She's the wrong sort of woman. She might be acceptable in the suburbs and seaside resort areas. I cannot see her making much of an impact in the industrial northeast and Scotland. After all, she's a very suburban lady...
...Democrats. For the moment, some leading Democrats are lining up behind rationing, but there is one notable exception. Washington Senator Henry Jackson, a respected energy expert on the Hill, puts it well down on his list of policy alternatives.

Extramarital sex is not deplorable, if both partners approve, but it should be used only as a last resort to save a marriage. Exactly under what conditions this would be appropriate is left fuzzy by the authors. The clear argument of the book is that sex should mean commitment, "developing a long-range relationship rather than concentrating it all on short-term pampering of the individual self...
