Is the key a yearning for adolescence, or does it cover a bit more ground?
How does that tie in with the Vineland women's sexual attraction towards
authority?  I think it's the familial bonds that are really being stressed,
a longing for the security of the All-American family of old, along with the
constraints that such a family entails.  A security that none of these
generations, from Eula to Prairie, has provided or recieved.
