...Decorous sexual pursuit, though, is merely an excuse for more than the usual typhoon of Shavian ideas, the torrential flow of blindingly bright words. Shaw steadily sounds his pet themes: the chicanery of politics, the corruptive power of money, the degrading stench of poverty, the servile dependencies of marriage and family, the charlatanism of medicine, the fossilization of learning, the tyranny of the state, the stupidity of the military and the bigoted, sanctimonious zeal of the church. And ever and always, the eternal humbuggery of the English, used and overused by Shaw for comic relief and casual abuse...
That, at least, is the purpose of four coeds and a male classics professor who have filed a class action in U.S. District Court, New Haven, charging Yale University with sex discrimination for tolerating sexual coercion of female students by male teachers. (The classics professor claimed that his colleagues' philandering had created "an atmosphere poisoned by distrust" which had made effective teaching impossible.)

He said the university already had a system for investigating the harassment of students -but it is a system set up last year only to aid blacks, and has never been used to investigate sexual coercion charges...
Amphibian Bondmobile. Series getting awfully ingrown. Sexual innuendo coarser. In London HQ, Bond reported to be on assignment in Austria, meaning he's doing you-know-what in front of fireplace in Alpine hideaway. Thunders M: "Tell him to pull out-immediately!" Only moment of real wit: amphibian Bondmobile drives into sea and becomes two-seater submarine; it veers to elude underwater pursuers, but only after flashing turn signal-for the wrong direction...
