...when presented with the chance to either (a) go to class yesterday or (b) stay up all night and wait outside in cold, nasty rain in order to get tickets for Opening Day, I hope you can all understand why I chose the latter over the former. Perhaps a bad decision in retrospect given that Pedro sucked, the Red Sox lost and that word on the street was that Mort Horwitz was en fuego in Warren Court lecture...

Now 55, she has recently published her thirteenth book, a memoir that describes how she went from being jailed for protesting the Vietnam War to launching a crusade against pornography. It is the latter that earned Dworkin and her collaborator, legal scholar Catherine MacKinnon, the most infamy: The civil ordinances in which they defined pornography as an actionable violation of women’s civil rights passed in some cities but were subsequently shot down on First Amendment grounds...
