Oh you meant World Federal-IST.  
 




Sybil:

But seriously though, his men are all so interesting. Ruthless and sexy and ... 
powerful.
 

Basil: 

Basil:  Who's this, then, dear? Proust? E. M. Forster?
 

Sybil:

Harold Robbins
 

Basil:

Oh, of course, yes. My wife likes Harold Robbins. After a hard day's slaving 
under the hair-dryer she needs to unwind with a few aimless thrills. 

      Sybil:Basil!
 

Basil: 

Have you ever read any? It really is the most awful American ... well, not 
America, but trans-Atlantic tripe. A sort of pornographic muzak. Still, it 
keeps my wife off the streets.
 

Mr. Hamilton:
We both like him.
