...university. College values intelligence, grades and ideals; the outside world values money and prestige and no integration seems to exist between the two. This mentality was illustrated beautifully in last week's Independent, whose cover featured a smiling graduate holding her diploma, whose face became a mask of horror when she turned to the real world and realized she had to find a job. Going from being a full-time student to a full-time breadwinner seems like jumping from a sauna into the Atlantic Ocean...
Employers who try to skirt the new law will have to reckon with France's army of government inspectors. Lately there have been horror stories about the bureaucrats' staking out office buildings at night and clapping fines on executives who toil more than the current limit of 39 hrs. a week.

Why are these sexual behaviors sensationalistic, trivializing and fundamentally indecent? As a co-chair committed to recuperating pathologized sexualities and gender identities, I am not willing to re-closet those of us who fall outside monogamy. Public visibility is a small, initial step toward avowing these privately popular but publicly...
