"There is a pawnish settlement in the south in which they do not teach their children anything of sex. It is kept a great mystery. The belief of this sect is that this ignorance will keep their children from harm. As a result, they value virginity highly and it is virtually unknown among them."
- The True Game, Sheri S. Tepper
Pawns are those used by the big players in the Game.
I wonder if Tepper had some real-life places in mind when writing this. Most of us are certainly pawns of many in Washington and on corporate boards.
