unscientific and wrong. New York Times 14 (August 29, 1992) (letter to
the Editor from Ashley Montagu, August 15).
How would Matsuda distinguish between The Satanic Verses and the
long tradition of debunking religious belief, e.g., Fox (1992); Wilson
(1992).

The Harvard Lampoon produced a parody of the May 1992 issue of the
conservative Dartmouth Review, substituting it for the real thing at
campus distribution points. A fictitious editorial writer apologised for the
Review's gaffe of quoting from Mein Kampf'm a 1991 issue while hailing
the Fuhrer's "rhetorical flair unsurpassed in German literature since
Nietzsche." A "Spring Fashion" section showed Hitler posing in the
woods in preppy attire. The Dartmouth administration refused the
Review's request to condemn the Harvard prank. New York Times B8
(May 13, 1992).

The Ku Klux Klan used to march openly on Long Island in the 1920s,
winning popularity contests at county fairs. The trophies it awarded
volunteer fire departments remained on display in the fire houses for 70
years. They disappeared only when black community groups sought to
integrate the departments in 1992. White firefighters were surprised at the
outrage their retention provoked. New York Times A13 (August 11,
1992).
19
Quoted in Edwards (1991). The language is strikingly similar to Rushdie's
open letter to Rajiv Gandhi, quoted in Chapter One.

Kappeler(1986:83).
21
Gardner (1978: 170).
22
Guardian 27 (November 9,1991) (the verdict was overturned because the
judge overreached in summing up).
23
Guardian 33 (October 10, 1991).
24
Pop star Marky Mark dedicated his recent book to his penis and opened
with a frontispiece picturing him holding it. New York Times B2 (September
28, 1992). Madonna's MTV teaser for her single "Erotica" and
$49.95 picture book Sex showed her with eyes masked, dressed in
leather, being ridden like a horse; pulling the reins of bondage boys; and
in a lesbian love scene and a menage a trois—all shot in grainy black-andwhite
reminiscent of snuff films. The "Erotica" album comes in a "adult"
version with a parental advisory sticker. The track "Where Life Begins"
celebrates her pleasure in being orally gratified. Los Angeles Times F4
(October 5, 1992); New York Times s.2 p.28 (October 18, 1992).
25
Friedrich(1992).

Paintings bore titles like "Insults to German Womanhood" and "Nature
as Seen by Sick Minds." Opening the 1937 exhibition in Munich, Hitler
called for the imprisonment or sterilisation of artists who continued the
"practice of prehistoric art stutterings." New York Times B3 (March 5,
1992); The New Yorker 32 (October 5, 1992). See also Peter Cohen's
documentary movie "The Architecture of Doom" reviewed in Los
Angeles Times F14 (March 27, 1992).
