FemSex also provides a safe, non-judgmental space. Not all of us can bare our souls to the world like Lena Chen ’09, whose blog, “Sex and the Ivy,” has been much-publicized for its candid look at sex at Harvard. Some of us want people to whom to talk who can identify and share, who we know won’t stop liking us for being a little T.M.I. Too often, I get looks in the dining hall for talking loudly about sex.

...only now, with the publication of Arthur Conan Doyle: A Life in Letters, do we have a candid, personal portrait of the writer, with little of the Victorian reserve of his memoirs. Most of the nearly 1,000 letters are to his beloved mother, Mary Doyle, beginning in 1867, when he was an 8-year-old boy at a Jesuit boarding school, and continuing until 1920, when Mary died.

(Legislative elections aren't scheduled until 2009, but with the opposition empowered by its recent win, early polls seem inevitable.) Clever and even cutting in person, Fukuda was always happy to give candid assessments of his LDP rivals, albeit off the record. However, the Diet veteran has zero charisma on the campaign trail. That used to be the norm for Japanese Prime Ministers, but the dramatic Koizumi changed public expectations. Unfortunately for the LDP, as Gluck points out, "there are no more Koizumis...
