SLSL Intro "Excesses of Law Enforcement"

[Dave Monroe]

"Maybe this wasn't my own adolescent nervousness about
sex.  I think, looking back, that there might have
been a general nervousness in the whole colege-age
subculture.  It was also the era of Howl, Lolita,
Tropic of Cancer, and all the excesses of law
enforcement that such works provoked." (SL, "Intro,"
pp. 5-6)
