...issues of modern life get little attention and the narcissistic ramblings of a few new media-anointed spokeswomen get far too much. You'll have better luck becoming a darling of feminist circles if you chronicle your adventures in cybersex than if you churn out a tome on the glass ceiling...
...their choices, and this is where the pseudo-feminists of today could be of help. The average female worker in America still earns just 76[cents] for every dollar a man earns, up 17[cents] from the '70s but still no cause for rejoicing. And for most women, the glass ceiling is as impenetrable as ever. There are only two female CEOs at FORTUNE 500 companies, and just 10% of corporate officers are women. Day care, a top priority for both middle-class women and less fortunate mothers maneuvering through welfare reform, still seems a marginal issue to feminist leaders...
...three words: no, yes, maybe. The X-Files, directed by series veteran Rob Bowman, looks damned handsome under the big-screen magnifying glass, with a rapturous clarity of golden and dark hues replacing the enveloping murk of the series. The two stars smartly fill their close-ups: David Duchovny (Mulder) adds a bit of cowboy swagger to his Prince of Dweebs intensity, while Gillian Anderson (as Mulder's skeptical partner Scully) radiates a '40s-style pensiveness that alchemizes glum into glam.

She then repeats the process. The residues in the pipe, called frosties, are infinitely valuable to crankers, and Alicia keeps torching them until they're gone...
...British and American actors) is making its American debut at Houston's Alley Theatre. It is a startling theatrical discovery: an impassioned social drama that is as far as one can imagine from the more personal, lyrical style that Williams introduced a few years later in The Glass Menagerie. The earlier play is something of a mess--more than three hours long, with too many characters and subplots, overwrought melodramatics and snippets of dialogue that sound like, well, bad Tennessee Williams (Girl to Guy: "Why don't you ever open the door you're hiding behind?"). But in Nunn...
