...Visual Delights. At Ravenswood last week, Boudreau unveiled yet another newly commissioned work, Report, by an up-and-coming Czechoslovak composer named Lubos Fiser (pronounced Fish-er).

(So does Mailer, for that matter, but in the Harper's essay, he seems to be too, er, modest to reflect on Millett's criticism of his own work, except in passing.) He is, however, swift to show us how and where the good woman wrecks havoc...
