...decade before World War I, the ante was raised once more, by Florenz Ziegfeld, whose sumptuous follies--fast-paced revues with comics, singers and chorines--became the gold standard of naughty, but not quite vulgar, spectacle: shows where young women might change clothes behind translucent screens while a winking crooner sang I'd Like to See More of You. By the '20s, the culture of Times Square hit its stride. The world of the stage spectaculars converged with the new nightclub society that Prohibition did little to discourage. The evolution of Broadway theater brought forward Eugene O'Neill, George...
...writer puts both intellect and experience to good use, especially in Deadwood's dialogue, which is vulgar but well crafted, even oddly formal. ("If you're going to murder me, I'd appreciate a quick dying. And not getting et by the pigs. In case there is resurrection of the flesh.")

The vulgar phrase "Get your end in and get your friend in" isn't heard as much in football circles as it was 10 or 20 years ago, when teams had designated "promoters" who organized group sex sessions. With today's game more of a business chasing an ever wider audience, a veneer of sophistication has been laid over many of its unsavory traditions, just as spiraling passes and mesmerizing sidesteps obscure...
When Hnida first came forward with her experience, the rape charge might have been the most shocking disclosure, but it was her experience as a member of the football team that left little room to acquit Barnett. Hnida says she was repeatedly verbally abused, called vulgar names, and had her breasts and crotch groped at practice...
