...that she teaches in Australia, one of the United States’ most ardent supporters in the war on terror. This seminar is merely one illustration—a particularly troubling one—of the reflex anti-Americanism I have encountered during my time studying in Australia. Casual conversations amongst students, pointed remarks by professors in lecture, university publications—all suggest a climate of America-loathing among some groups that is quite distasteful.

...Proving herself a master storyteller, Newsom’s fantastical, erudite vocabulary and haunting imagery are given context in these larger narratives. In what amounts to an experiment with the boundaries of pop music, Newsom’s unparalleled complexity and imagination serve to weed out the casual or unadventurous while rewarding the faithful; a close parallel would be Captain Beefheart.

...last thing to remember: as exciting and exotic as casual sex may seem, you definitely don’t want a souvenir to show your physician at UHS. You’ve heard it before, but seriously now, use protection of the appropriate sort. Safety doesn’t kill the fun; syphilis does. Also, a final word on legality of public and semi-public sex: anyone surprising you in the middle of it is probably not going to pat you on the back and offer congratulations.
