Sexism is their target and battle cry -as racism is the blacks'. They regard 20th century America as a rigid, male-dominated society which, deliberately or more often unconsciously, perpetuates arrant inequities between men and women-in pay, kinds of jobs and, more subtly, self-expression. Women, they say, are constantly put down by the ads that ask "Does she ... or doesn't she?" or proclaim "You've come a long way, baby," because, of all things, she has supposedly got her own cigarette. The militants abhor Playboy as well as most women's magazines, which...
...ovary through the Fallopian tubes to the uterus, an unseen equivalent of going down the Mississippi on a raft or over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Ordinarily, too, the ovum travels singly, like Lewis or Clark, in the kind of existential loneliness which Norman Mailer usually admires. One might say that the activity of ova involves a daring and independence absent, in fact, from the activity of spermatozoa, which move in jostling masses, swarming out on signal like a crowd of commuters from the 5:15."

"If by that time there aren't people and ideas around doing a better job than we have, then we'll have failed," he says. Brand expects to keep the Truck Store operating as a mail-order service, but his personal plans are indefinite-to say the least. "I may just spend a while having fantasies," he says. "But 1971 is a long time from now -like a generation...
...Madame Dieudonne in her bamboo bed-Viet Nam and life at its languorous, loving best-who softens Clancy and does the implacable warrior in. Eastlake does not say. Whatever the cause, Clancy tarnishes his hero's image and lets down his troops as well. Deep in a forest he dies a slow, solitary death, while both his own side and the Viet Cong hunt for him as if he possessed some solution to the war, or perhaps to life itself...
