...good nose piercing. The Osbournes was a '50s nuclear-family sitcom with dog poop, drug rehab and F words. American Idol, with its aspiring teen stars and vicious-insult wars, was Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour as reconceived by Jerry Springer. And The Bachelor wed--literally--'50s gender relations with 21st century sex. The show's secret (clear to its viewers but not to the paleofeminists and moralists who decried it) is that while The Bachelor pretended to celebrate a primitive dating ritual, its audience was meant to laugh at it.

...panicky criticism of Harvard Right to Life (HRL) by Arianne R. Cohen ’03 (Column, “‘Little Natalie’: A Poster Fetus for Intimidation,” Dec. 16) is the most ridiculous column I have read since her gender theory of terrorism 15 months ago. Did the similar pre-natal pictures in the Nov. 11 edition of Time Magazine (“Inside the Womb”) also constitute a misogynist attempt to scare pregnant college students? If Students for Healthy Babies had produced posters with the same images and captions...
