...fallibility of preprimary polls leads some to dismiss their utility altogether. Says Lucien Haas, an aide to Senate Majority Whip Alan Cranston of California: "The polls are absolutely worthless." That is an exaggeration. The real problem is that since polling can assess the views of a body of voters but not which of those voters will actually vote, a preprimary sampling is only an approximation of what is likely to happen.

In Tripp's view, the average heterosexual who wants to play sadomasochistic games with his wife or girlfriend will be disappointed. Despite the male fantasy of a masked, booted, whip-wielding beauty, most women seldom want anything to do with SM. In male-to-male relationships, there is no such shortage of players, and leather bars make them easy to locate...
