...through the flesh of his leg, and he was taken north. Once in prison, he spent hours hanging upside down in the sun with his jaw held shut by a muzzle. Rats and cockroaches nibbled at the torn flesh on his leg as he spent his nights in a bare brick cell, unheated even when the temperature fell to 20 [degrees...
...completed my secularization. This is not a criticism. If Harvard had made me a more spiritual person, it would have failed in its promise to socialize me to the values of the educated elite. Those values are secular. The prized act of mind in the Academy is the laying bare of hidden agendas. The educated person knows that love is really about libido, that power is really about class, that judgment is really about politics, that religion is really about fantasy, that necessity is really about chance. These views come from an Enlightenment that began with Galileo and Newton...
...cannot be found on the Playboy channel--you will find it instead on HBO, one of more than half a dozen or so "adult" anthology series offering soft-core sexual adventure that have been appearing late at night on the various paycable networks.

...downtown feel is also a bow to the '60s and '70s-- a sort of tribal-rock look. The clothes are cut tight to the body, not to say skimpy. Minis are micro, midriffs bare. Pinpricked Airtex, borrowed from athletes' uniforms, reigns here. Perhaps the chicest outfit in the group is a plain black vinyl shift. The very latest fashion fabric, polyester treated to appear holographic, appears in pretty iridescent tops. Daphne Rubin-Vega, who plays Mimi in the show and models the clothes here, gets to the point when she says, "They're really bohemian." Well, boho goes uptown...
