...credentials. But in The Beautiful Life those with proper credentials are leaving for more lively high times. For Dexter Knight, a homosexual society columnist and staunch defender of permanence, Old Society is the true, classic currency, or to switch metaphors, the official yard-stick by which to measure (and discard) every new wildness...
Thirteen states have now abolished the death penalty, in whole or part. But while the rest of the country is reluctant to discard it, endless appeals as well as commutations now commonly delay or prevent executions. At the beginning of last year 331 prisoners lingered on death rows across the country, but few if any of them are likely to join the 3,856 Americans (including 32 women) executed since 1930.

A secondary target is the artificial stimulation of the consumer to buy in vast quantities things he never wanted until he was told. Often such complaints sound highly plausible, particularly when reinforced by a wrecking ball hitting an old landmark or an infuriating commercial peddling a clearly needless "improvement" in some trivial product. Yet waste is not what it seems to be. The term implies a moral...
