Come to think of it, it does not much feel like luck that we met. That would imply that his second seminar was an aberration, when in fact it was a reflection of how much he loved language and literature and of how much he loved his students. Even in the last few, difficult months, Richard always had time, and what's more, wisdom...
...policy creates "an environment in which homophobia is seen as an acceptable belief which should be accommodated." Now, some first-years who request room changes may indeed be homophobes: they may bear an irrational fear or hate of gays. Some, one guesses, neither hate nor fear gays but would feel uncomfortable living with a gay student nonetheless.

...will have evolved into a supercool, supercaring superpower where all shapes and sizes can be regarded as sexy and beautiful. Where big women share space on billboards next to waifs and we embrace a progressive pansexuality. With advances in genetic engineering and antidepressants, maybe we'll all look and feel exactly the same. Wouldn't that be great? The Stepford Planet...
