...does it act as a catharsis, purging the viewer of his/her violent instincts? Innumerable studies in the last 50 years say yes, no, maybe to all three questions. It obviously depends on the state of the individual viewer (frustrated, placid, volatile), the style of violence (restrained, perfunctory, Iyrical, lingering, graphic), the filmmaker's attitude toward the victims and violators (a likable killer, empathetic victim, etc.), and other assorted immeasurables...
...unions settled for the University's first and only offer, the 10-9-8. The Harvard University Employees Representatives Association (HUERA) bargaining on behalf of custodians and security guards, then the MTC (carpenters, electricians and painters), the Harvard University Police Association, Locals 300 and 16b of the Graphic Arts International Union (bookbinders and lithographers), and finally Harvard's biggest union (Local 26 of the Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Employees Union, representing dining hall employees) and the University's smallest union (Local 13 of the Boston Typographical Union) accepted the 10-9-8 proposal in turn...

The novel, a farrago of discontinuous fragments, takes the reader on a graphic tour of the hellish interstices of a junkie's mind, the fantasies of castration and necrophilia and technology gone amok. The updated Gothicism, hip drugginess and black humor of Naked Lunch established Burroughs' audience, composed mostly of young people.
