Foreword
IN HIS BOOK, AMERICA AS A CIVILIZATION, MAX LERNER WRITES: "BY COMPARISON WITH the restoration period of sexual license in England and the eighteenth-century sexual revolution in France, the new American sexual orientation is far more pervasive ... The important fact here is that a shift has taken place from the commercial to the private sexual releases outside of marriage." Mom needed release. Her husband, Frank, was not very handy with tools, so to speak, and she was tired of do-it-yourself projects. It was perfectly natural that she would want to join a class where ideas on techniques of getting things done could be swapped. A raised dais showed things off to a good advantage.
