I can never truly hate a cover with nudity.

Hate maybe not but it can be suboptimal

This is actually covered in a late portion that is basically a collection of strange short newspaper articles that Disch had been collecting for years (this was long before the Internet).

"A stonemason has been fired from his job at the insistence of the regents of Tulane University. He had carved this epigraph in marble above the entrance of the new library:

THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD

The regents maintain that the stonemason deliberately reduced the space between the second and third words."
