...Cross-Generational Impact of the Japanese-American Internment--by Donna Nagata, associate professor of psychology, Smith College. Radcliffe Yard, Murray Research Center, Conference Room, noon...
...dispute Faludi's thesis by showing that women were also often portrayed as strong and fulfilled. Was Hope Steadman any more an archetype of the '80s than Murphy Brown? The fashion press may have lauded Christian Lacroix's baby-doll dresses, but real women ignored them in favor of Donna Karan's comfortable professional clothes, or the Gap's gender-neutral everyday wear. For every virulent misogynist, such as Andrew Dice Clay or rappers with songs about mutilating "bitches," there was a Sandra Bernhard, a Lily Tomlin, above all a Roseanne Arnold...
Mogul skiing, in which Donna Weinbrecht of New Jersey earned the women's gold medal last week, is dramatic. It involves slaloming among scores of boneshaking bumps down a straight 820-ft. course while completing two jumps, striving for both style and speed.

That inevitably means at least a suspicion of politics -- of favoring the stalwarts, whatever their performance on the day, over outsiders who may rise to one particular occasion...
...course bristling with hip-deep moguls, also known as the Bumps. Judges choose a winner based on a skier's speed and the quality and technique of the competitor's aerials and turns. The debut of moguls skiing at Albertville is likely to ignite an instantaneous star: Donna Weinbrecht of New Jersey.

Weinbrecht learned to ski on family vacations in Vermont and by age 10 had managed most of the expert slopes. That is when she decided she liked straying off the groomed trails...
...Clinton story raises the old questions about the "character issue" and the relevance of the sex lives of politicians. It is an issue that rounds up the usual suspects: John Kennedy and his girlfriends, Franklin Roosevelt and Lucy Mercer, Dwight Eisenhower and Kay Summersby, Gary Hart and Donna Rice. The story is still basically junk, a little sugar rush of news. But somehow the winter of 1992 feels a bit late for the prim old American Kabuki: the mayor caught in the whorehouse, the schoolmarm shaking her finger...
