...theater is filled these days with graphic homosexual stories. Gay sex interweaves a certain risque prestige with the drama of its poignant risk. But public male heterosexuality, like water seeking its own level, has settled down in the tabloid bottomlands, where it does its best to provide low entertainment. So we have hilariously unwholesome scenes in which, for example, the chief political strategist to the President of the U.S. is described as barking around an expensive Washington hotel suite on all fours.

Its graphic title left little to the imagination: "The Dissolution of General Education, 1914-1993." Citing examples such as the recent debate at Georgetown University over whether to allow English majors to graduate without having read Shakespeare, it asserted (in not the first statement of its kind) that "institutions of higher learning have generally abandoned most of the core academic requirements once considered essential...
