I came to the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo--the first E3 since the Littleton, Colo., massacre--expecting to find the video- game industry in a defensive crouch.

Museum dioramas of the Paleolithic past still tend to feature the guys heading out after the mastodons, spears in hand, while the gals crouch slack-jawed around the campfire, busily lactating. The chivalrous conclusion is that today's woman can do whatever she likes--start a company, pilot a plane--but only by trampling on her inner female...
