...with her colleagues include "lots of sexual innuendoes," she says. "Do you appreciate those as sexual harassment?" she asks, answering that she doesn't think they are. "Or do you appreciate them as people saying something because they don't know what else to say?" The awkwardness that marks casual conversations may also blight the tenure process, Klein fears. "Women that are as highly evaluated (as men) have to be exceptional. I don't see a recognition that having role models is an important part of an intellectual environment." And there are other pressures Klein says she creates for herself...
...there are several people who can quit. Those include the casual fan who finds to his dismay that the dialectical struggles surrounding professional sports are too intense for his preferences. There are the sportswriters, who, besieged with a plethora of interesting things to write about, all somehow end up saying the same things.

"Well," replied the farmer after considerable reflection, "let's do it." And so, 20 years after his "final" screen appearance in One, Two, Three, James Cagney, 81, was back before the cameras last week in Brooklyn, looking spry in the turn...
...TROUBLE is that DePalma, unlike Roeg, is uninterested in extending his technical inventions into the body of a film using them to invigorate and give meaning to a story's more casual, empty, expository sections. A good deal of the direction in Dressed to Kill appears awkward or perfunctory. Shot for shot, through patches of inaction and weaker stretches of suspense, the movie advances with a clumsy, prosaic quality--not unlike the flat-footed style of Kubrick's The Shining, which DePalma, in a recent interview, says he detests...
