...heroine is forever masturbating. Sex is often joyless or, when it is good, it sounds like 42nd Street: "Hot . . . hard . . . dripping . . . throbbing." At one point, Isadora complains: "While the whole world is f- away behind closed doors, all I do is write, write, write." Scribble, scribble, scribble, eh, Ms. Jong...
...drops any pretense to objectivity in Winners and Losers, concentrating instead on how the war affected her and other individuals. As a result, the critics have generally agreed with Garry Wills, who wrote disapprovingly in The New York Review of Books that "It is all a little too obviously Ms. Emerson's war," and discarded the book as "ineffectual protest...

It is obvious to anyone with a modicum of reasoning powers that Professor Wilson had nothing of the sort in mind when he wrote his book, but was simply suggesting that biological factors as well as environmental effects influence man's well-known penchant for aggression.
