...solution to this problem may lie in the restructuring of our Core Curriculum. Screw foreign cultures (not literally, I’m not an imperialist), what we need is Sexual Studies A and B. “Sex Studies A” will deal with broad-based themes, like sexual chemistry, trust, compromise, dialogue, and the development of mature relationships. “Sex Studies B” will examine more particular issues, like foot fetishes in rural Mongolia...
...most conspicuous and skillful example of a leftward tilt is the R.S.C.'s anti-imperialist version of Shakespeare's celebration of conquest, Henry V.

Turks have always been patriotic, but the flag-waving may be more than a response to a relatively minor incident. "Left- and right-wing nationalists are uniting on what they call an anti-imperialist agenda," says political commentator Ismet Berkan, editor-in-chief of the national daily Radikal. The reaction may be symptomatic of deepening national insecurity as relations with Europe deteriorate over eventual E.U. membership and recent allegations...
