Sounds good to me, too--and totally Hollywood. The latter sentiment does not always sink in here; even if they know it's just TV, somehow its distance from reality gets lost in translation. Israel by its very nature has been always looking for ideal worlds; for some, America is it. In some ways that is the worst part: this country is its own answer, with a lot to teach us too. Maybe the lessons can't fit into 30 minutes, but here races and religions have a long and increasingly bright history of cooperation rather than war. Israel...
...gender--her deepest awareness of her identity--doesn't correspond to the parts she was born with. Though she has become an activist in the past year or so, Ware struggled with these feelings for years. Now, at 45, she is happy with her inner and outward selves, the latter feminized with hormones and women's clothes. Ware isn't yet "transsexual," but she does plan to undergo what doctors call "sex-reassignment surgery" when she and her beau David can afford it; it will cost about as much as their new Nissan...
Sure, Gurian says, boys can't process emotional trauma as well as girls can, and without proper guidance can go haywire. And Pollack, as expected, says misdirected rage is a response to emotional repression and to society's message that anger is an acceptable male emotion. The latter argument--like Pollack's overall idea--seems more expansive and more convincing. But either way, we clearly ought to be paying more attention...
...deeply offended, but alas, not terribly surprised, by "Is Feminism Dead?" Nah, TIME just doesn't get it. That you could do a story on feminism and not talk to the editors of Ms. reflects either ignorance, arrogance or an obvious bias. I think the latter, since you chose to ignore the breadth and depth of feminists' concerns and activism, exactly what Ms. reports on. Feminism and the women's movement are alive, very well and clearly focused on women's economic, political and social equality. And no, it is not all about white women. Yet you ignore the activism...
Behind the heritage hoopla is the newfound ease with which family connections can be traced, often with the aid of computers. Millions of federal records can be found in Washington's National Archives and Records Administration and its 13 regional branches. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, contains billions of names, with thousands more added each month by 75 research teams microfilming records all over the world. In 2000, visitors to Ellis Island will have computer access to all passenger lists of ships bringing immigrants to New York Harbor...
