...sexist, self-deprecatory attitudes with a few good techniques and ideas. The main reason to be a Sensuous Woman (i.e., good in bed) is to be able to catch and keep men. Garrity also points out that a woman can have a lot of fun herself, but the main thrust of the book is pleasing men so they won't leave you for that cute little secretary at the office...

...precise role of the Russians was difficult to define. It seemed impossible that Moscow, which has advisers throughout the Syrian army, was unaware of Damascus' intention to invade. The Russians may not have known the extent of the thrust, however, Moscow made every public pose of trying to check the fighting. Yet some U.S. analysts speculated that the Russians might have been playing a clever double role: instructing their advisers with the Syrian army to let the tanks roll, but to appear as the peace saver by pulling them back if they failed.

Their way is a succession of straits-the Dardanelles, Suez, Bab el Mandeb (linking the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden)-but it is a painless progression. No power blocks their...

...earth. The lower stage, a four-legged vehicle vaguely resembling the LM's descent stage, remained behind and continued to take temperature and radiation readings. What made the blast-off procedure so important was that Russian designers-probably because of severe weight restrictions made necessary by the limited thrust of their booster rocket-had apparently not built into the spacecraft any capability for mid-course corrections. Thus, had the returning spacecraft been on a course that brought it back into the earth's atmosphere at the wrong angle, the Russian controllers would not have been able to save...
