...This scenario describes "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" better than it does the history of SDS: Landau neglects to mention that the slogan of SDS in 1964 was "Part of the way with LBJ!" This "free-wheeling" organization somehow never wheeled its way to political radicalism and an alliance with the working class...
...might, and indeed there are moments when Mailer certainly does try, he can't seem to rid himself of the preconception that the Archetypal American Woman is The Dutiful Little Homemaker. He begins the piece in Harber's, in fact, by recreating a scenario intended to prove just how sympathetic he is to the plight of the Sink-Chained American Woman...
...scenario stars Norman himself as Dutiful Little Homemaker and features our bold hero trudging off to the Maine woods for six weeks, five of his six children in tow, so that the soul of eagerness, he can "get some idea of what it might be like to raise a family." But he does find himself a little help, it seems; a few bit players are added to the cast: "a good Maine woman" who does the cleaning and laundry, and his sister who comes up for two weeks, and finally, as by now you may yourself have gathered, his "dearest...

The final casualty might well be a lone U.S. Navy...

By concocting an endless variety of "new" ingredients to make her wash "whiter," "brighter" and "sparkling," they induced her to buy more than a billion dollars worth of detergents and "pre-soaks" annually. The courtship intensified in 1967, when the soapmen introduced wonder-cleaning enzymes with a splashy campaign. The enzymes were first promoted in "pre-soaks," in which they act the way stomach acids work on food, eating away hard-to-remove...
