...siren call of Friskopp and Silverstein is one that gay and lesbian professionals would do well to ignore. Many people who are themselves as gay or lesbian later realize that they were mistaken in their self-labelling. It is far better for a gay professional to remain closeted, leaving himself open to the possibility of later fitting in and leading the life of a straight person, than to publicly and vocally commit himself to being a member of a group that by its own account faces discrimination at every turn...

...this cautionary tale of blond ambition, Kidman concocts a savory cocktail of strychnine and syrup. Imagine a bourgeois sex kitten mistaken for a prom queen. Her eyes are fixed in a cutesy-predatory gaze that evokes and parodies the early Ann-Margret and her cinema avatars Melanie Griffith and Drew Barrymore. Her voice has the blithe assurance of someone who has never been told no. On her teeth is a little lipstick residue, like unlicked blood. She's got It, and she knows how to peddle it. In this small-town, pastel-pretty version of Network, Suzanne strides toward...

Unless I am seriously mistaken many Harvard students are hundreds, even thousands of miles away from home and as a result are pretty much on their own. This means we have tremendous responsibilities.

...petition was big enough to cause problems, the advertiser will more than likely cancel the commercials, and, consequently, should other advertisers be approached in a similar manner, the offending program will most likely be cancelled (no sponsors means no show, right?). Also, if I am not mistaken, A&E, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, etc., are all for profit cable channels, yet they seem to maintain a list of outstanding educational shows and culturally enlightening programs. Can we expect them to move into the realm of "frivolity" and "inanity" that Mr. Pasquale spoke of? I doubt...

...chaired the ad hoc faculty committee appointed by Dean of the Medical School Daniel C. Tosteson '44 to conduct the inquiry, and I feel compelled to answer Professor Dershowitz because I believe his arguments are misinformed and misleading. He is mistaken about the committee's purposes. He also misunderstands the nature of clinical science and the standards by which the Harvard medical faculty--or, for that matter, the faculty of any other first-rate medical school--are judged by their peers...
