...been here before, so the next act was familiar: museum defenders indignantly cited the First Amendment. Performance artist and freedom-of-expression activist Karen Finley, whose art career now seems secondary to her talk-show shouting, went on CNN to lament censorship. And the Brooklyn Museum of Art--which vowed to go on with the exhibition, damn the consequences--was soaked in publicity, creating the sensation it had hoped for.

In the process it shows that racial rapport in America is elusive not just because of history or politics but also because, like Bill and Karen's difficult but triumphant love, it requires years of personal effort. Love Story will reward anyone who, at least, can spare 10 hours...
