Many societal problems also affected AAAAS. In 1969, all leadership positions in the group were held by males. This was a source of tension between the leadership and many of the women in the organization, including Lani C.

Scenes change abruptly from dark confessions of love and desire to frivolous and hypocritical jealousy making vital transitions to key jokes difficult. Likewise, halting delivery and slow entrances take the snap out of potential fun. The jokes take too long to develop where a few crisp exchanges would bring the excitement of fresh...
