...surrounded at Harvard by people whospend their days working," says Kamins. "They needto feel the thrill of the hunt, the blood on theirhands...
That it was left behind is appropriate, since this particular voyage was the very antithesis of Melville's great saga. For the first time in humankind's 5,000 years of seafaring, the prized whale lying on the deck wasn't a trophy of the hunt. Instead, the return of J.J. the whale to the sea, after 15 months of care by animal-rescue workers at nearby Sea World, was a triumph of both compassion and commercialism.

Thomas should not have been slammed for pointing out that Hill followed him to another job and invited him to speak where she was teaching, just as it is legitimate for Clinton to point out Willey's affectionate notes, her book proposal, her publicity hunt via 60 Minutes. By the same token, it was just as wrong for Thomas' critics to get hold of his video-rental records as it was for Kenneth Starr to subpoena a bookstore last week to pry into Monica Lewinsky's reading habits...
