...Werm. Two men, one woman? Three men? One man, two women (assuming that if women in the Hasty Pudding show are men, then men are women)? Stella Virgin (Robert Schlesinger '00) is a dangerously subversive character, a postmodern repetition of the much-parodied "White House intern" figure. Doused in blush and armed with a lolli (ta)pop, Schlesinger's cotton candy-cum-phallus act is not very sexy, but still a marked improvement over Monica...

I had taken their questions as indications to blush and stammer instead of to share what is, in a sense, a part of my personality. I had failed to learn the first lesson of Harvard diversity: There can be no understanding if the thing to be understood is never mentioned...
