Throughout the play, Peer dichotomizes women. Those of maternal purity, he fears to touch. The accessible slut, he invariably beds. The young Peer of Part I (rather monotonously played by Greg Martyn) scoots off to a wedding feast held for one of his old flames (Jana Schneider). There he meets Solveig (Jossie de Guzman), a girl of 15 or 16 who captivates him but is skittish at his brusque advances. To the end of the play, she will be his undimmed light of love and will incredibly play the combined role of wife and mother figure without the literal consolations...
...scarcely luckier at home. Andrew's wife Millie (Sheila Allen) is something of a snob, a shrew and a slut. Millie's only gift for truth is the poisonously emasculating one of recounting her adulteries to her husband. Her current affair with a virile and popular teacher (Edmond Genest) carries its own brand of pain; her lover clearly intends to break...
...crucial Scarsdale Letter." That frenzied, ten-page epistle, the emotional centerpiece of the trial, had been sent by Harris to Tarnower the morning of his death. "I have to do something besides shriek with pain," she wrote. She called rival Tryforos "a vicious, adulterous psychotic" and "a thieving slut."

To Bolen, the letter was proof of Harris' pathological jealousy. To Aurnou it was an emotional suicide note...
...exempt organization with a staff of six. Their detailed reviews of new textbooks under consideration by Texas schools, and Norma's motherly testimony before the State Textbook Committee have great impact in Texas, where schools have tossed out a number of new dictionaries that included terms like "slut," "queer" and "bed, verb transitive." Their objections to a number of health and government texts aroused elected officials on the Texas Board of Education, who last month dropped five of ten books that the Gablers had opposed. What Texas does affects textbook publishers nationally, because the state selects all elementary...
...affluence. Flexner's research, he says, "turns the accepted story completely upside down. I found not affluence but relative squalor; not warmth but betrayal. Hamilton's home was a shambles." Being illegitimate, Alexander was officially designated an "obscene child." His mother Rachel was evidently something of a slut; before taking up with Hamilton's father, she served time in jail on St. Croix for committing adultery-"whoring with everyone," said her husband's complaint in court. Hamilton's father, a feckless romantic and bankrupt merchant, eventually deserted Rachel and their two children-or perhaps...
