The highlight is "Incident on Avenue P" about the 1972 "Dog Day Afternoon" case. John Wojtowicz was quite a piece of work. A Vietnam vet, he was gay, recently divorced, unemployed, and convinced he was dying of cancer. And to top it all off, his boyfriend was badgering him for to fund a sex change operation. Wojtowicz decided crime was the answer. With two inexperienced accomplices, he inaugurated his criminal career by holding up the Bensonhurst branch of Chase Manhattan Bank. Things don't go according to plan. Within minutes they found themselves with nine hostages, trapped in a bank surrounded by 50 million cops, reporters, and spectators. After a 12 hour standoff, during which John answered the phone and talked to cops, reporters, relatives, and cranks (one repeat caller kept advising him to "Kill them all"), the cops lured them out with the promise of a plane at JFK. The police thoughtfully provided John & the crew with a limousine, complete with FBI agent for a chauffeur. The drive to JFK was uneventful. And there it was, the promised plane, all ready to go. Unfortunately, this sight made John and accomplice Sal Naturile relax just enough for the driver to pull out a carefully hidden gun and blow Sal away while agents outside grabbed John.

She starts off by trying to refute the Kinsey fueled perception that "everyone's doing it". The whole stance of the book is based on hardcore mythical middle class values which are assumed to be chisled in stone. The middle class values chastity, the middle class is successful, the middleclass is good, therefore chastity is necessary to be both good & successful. The lower classes, with their distinctly animalistic sexual practices which force them to accept un-American government handouts, are discussed only with a sense of distaste. Is sex natural? Of course, but "it is not to say that just because we are mammalian we should therefore act like animals". Is it fun? Pre-maritally, ''It's not fun if you don't enjoy it". Several horror stories about the sad & lonely lives of the sexually fulfilled come in here. And, if you are in love, having sex may cause the boy to lose his respect for you & change his mind, making the girl feel shabby. "Hopping into bed with every individual you feel fond of would be ridiculous, if not downright immoral". Sexual restraint is not bad for you, either from a physiological or psychological view. As a matter of fact, "Sublimation is important for your development as a person". Not having sex is good for you. In summary, "chastity is worth the struggle", not only for your present happiness, but for your family, your future family, and indeed the future of American democracy. Loose morals are for declining decaying civilization, not for a robust country like the US of A.
