This is from "Thog's Masterclass"
(http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/Ansible/thog.html), a listing of bad writing
from Science Fiction books.

`More interesting to Whaleman were the fantastic breastworks, huge
swollen globes of shiny flesh upon her chest, crowned with soft pink
suckler tips -- no doubt, the Gunner surmised -- the mammary evidence
of a runaway GPC maternal code. He realized that he was inspecting her
with excessive interest but could not help himself. The mammala were
exquisitely formed, curiously hard-soft in appearance, and jutting out
from the chest in a manner that aroused Whaleman's engineering
curiosity.' -- Don Pendleton, The Guns of Terra 10

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
