...Empire State Building. "Everyone ought to be rich," he wrote in an exuberant Ladies' Home Journal article; anyone who could invest $15 a month, he declared, could eventually reap a profit of $80,000. A Harvard behavioral psychologist named John Watson even found therapeutic value in speculation. "Sex has become so free and abundant," he theorized, "that it no longer provides the thrill it once did." Gambling on Wall Street is about the only thrill we have left...
...November Cosmopolitan brims with the customary hints for foraging single gals ("If you have invited someone to your home for sex ... it only takes a few minutes to change the sheets"). But it also carries some closely reasoned political advice: a 3,700-word article by Columbia Law School Professor Ruth Bader Ginsburg urging passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.

The writer's explicit association of this description of pinball with sex indicates an abhorrent link in his mind between sex and violence toward women. Mr. Attanasio is not selective, though, in displaying sexual prejudice. He also exhibits racial arrogance in depicting Tommy's Armenian restaurant-owner who emits word-like syllables between "aargh's and grzhth's" and a pinball-playing "short Canuck in a bogus leather jacket." Another writer claims that, "For entertainment, "Whorehouse...
