First, I will admit right off that I did not go to Gibson's speech. However, after reading the Crimson article ("Gibson Gives Offbeat Speech," News, Nov. 13 1996) and talking to several friends, I think I have a pretty good idea of what went on. Gibson had no point to make, no themes to discuss and no message to send to the Harvard youths that could grow up to shape the world. Instead he was flippant and crass.

He thinks all his problems derive from his inability to stay out of the beds of sexually desirable but otherwise destructive women. He decides instead to form a companionate liaison with a woman who is his mental equal, but is otherwise -- how to put this gently? -- a bowwow. Rose, we are to understand, is so desperate that she goes along with him, thinking that once they're married, his resistance...
