Generally, most professionals agree, the better the psychiatrist, the fewer his prejudices-including bias against women.

...Philco Super Heterodyne ("No stoop, no squat, no squint"), it is time for nostalgic celebration. Vic, Sade and Rush Gook are back, along with Uncle Fletcher, Blue Tooth Johnson, Mr. Gumpox, and all those great everyday people who lived somewhere west of Dismal Seepage, Ohio, and east of Sweet Esther, Wis.

...only slightly more qualified to judge radical poetry than is Dean Dunlop to judge the "competence" of Professor Guinier, yet apparently Rich expected something more advanced, more avant-grade--or, at least, more subtle--from the guardians of upper-class culture, Well, even angles fart, and so must the sweet Signet subtlety occasionally sour. The elegant left (left of Eliot and Pound, that is) revealed its imperial purple this time, exposing itself as actually being scarred by the workshops of history.
