Packwood isn't alone. Earlier this week, four Republican Congresswomen, all supporters of abortion-rights, met with President Bush to discuss the issue. They emerged from the meeting with a surprise. The President, they said, no longer rules out federal financing for abortions for poor women in the case of incest and rape. What a difference twelve months makes...
Health class, Harvey Milk School: a male student in drag is talking about his last experience with alcohol. "A drunken butch queen was getting on my case, criticizing me and acting flamboyant, so I pulled a knife on her." A gay youth interjects, "If you consider yourself a woman, you should act like a woman 24 hours a day."

Two years ago, Mikhail Gorbachev established a joint Soviet-Polish commission whose mandate included the reopening of the Katyn case. Since then, the Soviets have delayed a formal verdict. But officials, eager to clear the air before Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki's arrival in Moscow later this month, want to hasten a judgment. Applauding Gorbachev for making a "historic break with Stalinism," Brzezinski offered a face-saving way out. "Many Soviet people were also victims of Stalinism," he said. "So the acknowledgment of these crimes should lead...
