...seven-year stint there was a series of explosions. For one thing, she is, as she says in a rare understatement, "physical." Paglia throws punches. She kicks people twice her size. Once she even called the president of the college to inform her that she was about to kick an obnoxious male student. Fine, said the president, who was new on the job and probably thinking in metaphors. Paglia landed one that sent the fellow sprawling in the cafeteria. Says the woman warrior: "Committees were always convening over me." After leaving Bennington in 1979 -- one tiff too many -- she struggled...
...WOULD LIKE TO take this opportunity to respond to the article appearing in Peninsula's October/November 1991 issue entitled "AIDS is not a gay disease." I applaud the author's intent to dispel any "lies" or "half-truths" and to inform the Harvard community of the "truth" surrounding HIV-infection and AIDS.

As such, they succeed, even when the words are nowhere near singing...

Landry, that Freud's psychosexual theories defining homosexuality as a neurosis are but theories, without much current support among contemporary psychologists. And above all, we would inform C. Brown that Plato in the Symposium does praise homosexual love, saying, (among other things) "...if there were only some way of contriving that a state or army should be made up of lovers and their loves, they would be the very best governors of their own city...
