Since 1975, a joint admissions office has admitted men and women to Harvard and Radcliffe. Upon admission to Radcliffe, women have been enrolled "in the blink of an eye," Lewis has been known to say, in Harvard...
...Scouring zoological journals and conducting extensive interviews with scientists, Bagemihl found same-sex pairings documented in more than 450 different species. In a world teeming with more than 1 million species, that may not seem like much.

The audience is, in fact, so overcome by sentimental ecstasies that there is a full ten seconds of silence before they recover enough to surge forward to meet our heroes with rapturous devotion. Likewise, The Harmonists are not above mushy displays of affection, a fact which director Joseph Vilsmaier impresses upon us by repeatedly showing them joining hands in the tedious...
