Complete randomization would rob houses of any sort of individuality or character. Knee-jerk fans of diversity seem to forget that Adam's artsiness and Kirkland's Incest Fest bring individuality and richness into their inhabitants' lives. The alternative to house "character" is a system of 12 sterile dormitories, nothing more than place to live, rather than the vibrant communities they are intended...
...certainly is a lively venue for dealmaking. At least four films picked up distributors during this year's festival: Go Fish, a lesbian comedy (to be released by Goldwyn); Spanking the Monkey, a startling drama about incest that won the audience prize for best dramatic feature (Fine Line); Clerks, a low- budget comedy set in a convenience store (Miramax); and Martha and Ethel, a documentary about two lifelong nannies (Sony Pictures Classics).

Congress had earlier allowed for the possibility of federally funded abortions in the cases of rape and incest, an expansion of its long-standing mandate to pay when the mother's life is endangered. After dawdling for months, HHS decided that the new law meant states must fund such abortions or risk losing their Medicaid dollars -- a legal interpretation other Administration lawyers dispute.
