And when Gabby insisted they buy a corset to "lift everything up" and make the dress look better, Cirenza drew the line again. No corsets. Not now. Whether Gabby knows it or not, her mother thought, a corset is the last thing an 11-year-old needs. [Last graf]

When I read (or rather skim; I know such things by heart) stories like this I think of Tom Wolfe's brilliant line (I've quoted it before) about how the high mucky-mucks of Yale reacted when a granite block clunked next to its fine Beaux-Arts art museum: "They took it -- like a MAN." We have to take young teens as sluts-in-training like a man because (said this before too) we don't control the culture, SLIME and SUMNER do, and their tentacles are so vast as to smother discontent at the source -- although God knows the public's been trying. And then the hacks help out with their ein-volk-ein-reich-ein-NEWS-BIZ philosophy, a considerable part of which is to fling every damning word at people who believe the human race should have morals (PRUDE, HYPOCRITE, CHRISTIAN, ETC., ETC., ETC.). Besides look who's its PROFIT CENTERS. To be sure our STATEMEDIA are an argument for revolution, but they so pacify us we can't even respond with a whimper.
