"The cultural boils Miss King sought so vigorously to lance included..."

"Political correctness; feminism ('Feminists will not be satisfied,' she wrote, 'until every abortion is performed by a gay black doctor under an endangered tree on a reservation for handicapped Indians'); environmentalism; the antismoking lobby; sentiment; intimacy; weakness; special pleading; lack of breeding ('No matter which sex I went to bed with, I never smoked on the street'); gay liberation; far rightism; far leftism; mild to moderate leftism; democracy ('I believe in a Republic of Merit in which water is allowed to find its own level, where voters, like drivers, are tested before being turned loose'); the Constitution; children ('In order to molest a child you must first be in the same room with a child, and I don’t know how perverts stand it'); the human race. Miss King, who defined herself by a much shorter, tidier list, was, in her own account (though in no particular order), a monarchist; a discreet, tweedy, long-celibate lesbian; an erstwhile pornographer; and 'slightly to the right of Vlad the Impaler.'"
