...editors: In her column “Stripper Ergo…Rape,” (Apr. 12), Ashton Lattimore argues that “when women treat each other in…a cruel and disrespectful manner, it opens the door for men to do the same.” Even though the most fair-minded would concur that agreeing to dance at a party full of drunken, under-aged athletes is a risk probably not worth taking, this is hardly tantamount to giving license for the accuser to be raped. Lattimore also fails to recognize that when...
...AACF desire UC funding, then they should simply change their bylaws. Although de facto discrimination may be difficult to evaluate, explicit discrimination is not. The UC is reasonable to err on the side of generosity when giving funds to groups that may discriminate in some de facto manner, but it should certainly not fund when discrimination is de jure.

This makes good sense; Bush has to calculate how to use what chits he has left to see which nominees through Senate confirmations hearings. It's worth noting that Card had done the same thing a month...
Black Swan Green proceeds (more in the manner of a scrapbook than a thriller) through the seasons of the year, and then, exactly at the midpoint of the novel, Jason stumbles upon an exotic old lady--a Belgian Miss Havisham--who throws open the doors on an alien world of poetry and music and Continental panache (everything forbidden to an English boy). Madame Crommelynck also starts to comment on what we have been reading, asserting that "Beautiful words ruin your poetry" and "A poet throws all but truth in the cellar." Suddenly, as in the works of Thomas Pynchon...
