Cooper said the number of students in the libraries has practically doubled as Harvard enters exams. "It's been nonstop," he said...
...speaker -- at nonstop, sewing-machine speed -- is Camille Paglia, contrarian academic and feminist bete noire, and her 1990 book, Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson (Yale University Press), is the most explosive tome to emerge from academe in quite some time. The book is about many things -- paganism, pop culture, androgyny, sexual conflicts -- but what has drawn the media with magnetic force is the author's contempt for modern feminists.

...musicals. The handful of creators who, in various permutations, have brought forth Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon and the like have nothing new or imminent. Still, an irresistibly energetic and shamelessly folksy overgrown cabaret show, Five Guys Named Moe, featuring jazz of the 1930s and '40s and nonstop dancing by an all-black cast, has taken London by storm. It is headed for Broadway next April, complete with group singing of calypso bebop and a whole-audience conga line at intermission...
