I remember that show. H & I discussed it a few days afterward. Yeah, he had 
a thing for young Roiphe. Makes you wonder why he made such a fuss about 
Saddam's rape rooms. Perhaps "consensual" rape is more palatable -- or at 
the very least "conceptual" rape. In any event, I strongly doubt he brought 
this up with Dworkin. But you never know with the old boy.
