...community spirit forged at PTA meetings and Rotary clubs and countless other places where we gather to work together on issues of mutual concern. Tocqueville, I think, was wrong. These two strands of the American character are not in conflict; they are interwoven. They are the warp and woof of our national fabric...
...maze of steamy places that don't exist makes up the warp and the woof of sex on the Net today. The fact that virtual sex happens on the Net upsets a lot of people. Unfortunately, sex on the Net turns on a lot of people too. I know. I've been covering sex on the networks for nearly 10 years. Strictly as a professional, of course.

The prissy Jane (Jane Sperling) and her luggish fiancee Dink (Ron Weiner) coo at each other about becoming "moan and woof" and their upcoming "hiney-moon" in "A Frantic City." Jane must reject her "old toy-friend" Jerry, played by the slouching, smooth-talking Brent Johnstone, as must Dink shun the advances of Pam Shores' provocative Alas, before the couple can properly appreciate "encaged" life...
