When the romance begins to wane, when Monk begins brooding over love's "bitter mystery," then not even the most extravagant prophet could anticipate the window-rattling violence and savagery of these lovers' quarrels, the crazed sadism of Monk's accusations, or the deadly criticism that Mrs. Jack shoots back. Because she always comes back for more, however, because they make up from time to time and declare "Was there ever love like ours?" it is a long time before the final parting. Near the end Monk makes his bitterest accusation: "I've lost my squeal...
Most people like to study statistics, perhaps because they are usually depressing, and almost everyone has a touch of sadism or masochism in him. At any rate, John Tunis' classic debunk of things at Harvard several years ago was able to provide Harvard men with something of a thrill. In addition, it was enough to give them an acute inferiority complex enough to convince them that they went out with clay pipes instead of silver spoons.

...Harvard magna cum laude degree, and "Jazz Journalism," which is dedicated to a member of the History department, is illustrative of the shallow scholarship that Harvard too often teaches. Mr. Bessie's research is flawless, but his naivete is stupendous. In the entire work the words "morbidity," "propaganda," "sadism," "malice" and "fabrication" do not once appear. Mr. Bessie seems unaware of persecutions and deliberate hoaxes for editorial or sensational reasons. He gives credit to the ingenuity of none but the most scurvy editors, and the important question of whether the public demanded the tabloid or whether unprincipled publishers forced...
