...interview in TIME two weeks ago, Laura Schlessinger spoke out about her reactions to many gays' and lesbians' negative response to her. I was fascinated by how she saw her own reflection in the mirror she has held up to the lesbian and gay community for more than a year. She claims that her image has been distorted; ironically, that's the same claim we have been making about what she has done to our image. The distinction, then, must lie in who holds the mirror and at what angle. Here...
...When Laura and I met last year, I believe that we both were optimistic that we could either change the other's mind or at least find a common ground about her opinions regarding homosexuality.

Laura Spence, who will be attending Harvard next year, became the latest class-warrior after protesting her rejection from Oxford, contending that students from state-sponsored schools are disadvantaged in the admissions process. New Labour took up her standard but was bitterly opposed by the Tory front benchers...
...Just to let you know, that at least this reader found ALL of your questions to Dr. Laura to be leading, negative, condescending, and noncommunicative. It is as if you were "searching" for a way to entrap this leading radio communicator into making some "confession" that would serve your warped view of what would represent the news. Why anyone at your organization relies upon you to "report" the news is a total and complete mystery...
