...Rock may be one of this project's more controversial selections. Just last month, The New Republic devoted 4,000 words to explain why he and fellow African-American comic Chris Tucker were "reactionary" and to decry Rock's "reliance upon minstrelsy and coon comedy." The criticism echoes a frequent complaint that Rock's politically incorrect humor gives cover to racists--most infamously his "Niggas vs. Black People" routine from the Bring the Pain HBO special that helped revive his career in 1996 after three years in the wilderness that followed his underutilized tenure on Saturday Night Live...
...women on business, a trouble-free environment is key. "Female frequent travelers have concerns about their safety," says Michel Van der Hoeven, manager of Singapore's Gallery Evason. "They always ask to be close to the elevator, to reception." Gallery Evason was the first hotel in Asia to reserve a floor for women, served by female staff, when it opened this spring. Doubles start at $86; to reserve, call (65) 849-8686. Since then, the Novotel Atlantis in Shanghai's Pudong district has set aside its 43rd floor, under the name Club Femme. Doubles...
...much for the romance of air travel. "We had no legroom, everyone was grum-py and the air stewardess was unfriendly," says Patrick Schepers, 13, of Peer, Belgium, after a recent long-haul flight. "It's the cocktail of ingredients," says David Dison, 46, a South African lawyer and frequent traveler. "The cabin pressure, the lack of legroom, the lack of air." But airlines' attempts to share blame with passengers may hold some water. Ishii says she knows she should have walked around, but stayed in her seat so as not to disturb her husband and his neighbor. And some...
...Anita Hill like character assassination. (Republicans dredged up the infamous John Doggett 3d, a lawyer who testified that Hill was an erotomaniac for thinking he would ever condescend to date her.) To the rest of us, the hearings felt like must-see TV. Hill said Thomas was a frequent consumer of pornography whose conversations with the female staff were laced with sexually suggestive remarks. It is moot whether that constituted sexual harassment. But Republicans, by their vociferous denials, suggested that demonstrating the first would prove the other. To prevent a Thomas defeat, they had to show that Long Dong Silver...
...Brock in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel in downtown Washington in 1994. A book titled Strange Justice, by reporters Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson, had just come out - and it used on-the-record interviews to argue persuasively that Thomas had indeed subjected a number of women to frequent sexually explicit remarks about porno videos. Savage, a black mid-level aide in the Reagan Administration, told both the authors and the Judiciary Committee (although she wasn't called to testify publicly) that when she went to Thomas' apartment in the early 1980s, the place was littered with graphic photos...
