...Other Victorians (1966) Marcus examines the ananymous erotic memoir "My Secret Life." In one scene where a female agricultural worker resists the sexual advances of the local squire, Marcus reads a significant change in social consciousness, the rise of the belief that class privileges should not afford sexual dominion over the persons of social inferiors.

One Harvard patrolman says that car owners should be particularly wary on rainy nights--car thieves don't like to walk in the rain. Sexual crimes for the six-month period are low.

He has the couple move with such highly-charged energy that they forget their partner is of the opposite sex. At these times Nikolais emphasizes traces of movement rather than the precise shapes of movements. The dancer thinks only of getting as quickly as possible to the next phrase...
