...behind with three of the top 10 overall scoring leaders, and the Big Green also has a star goaltender in Michelle Conroy. The Big Green netminder has not been scored upon in the Ivy League and has 0.58 goals-against average overall. The irresistable force meets the immovable object in 10 days when the Big Red and the Big Green face each other in the Umbro/Cornell Classic in Ithaca...
Sadly, this is nothing new. Images of Asian men in our culture are, to put it mildly, not exactly positive. We're either laughable little creatures who are the object of derision and mockery, even to the point of being asexual, or we're grotesquely--and thus impossibly--masculine...
...course, there's a contradiction inherent in Linklater's project of filming a bunch of nothing much and presenting it as an object for hedonistic consumption: having been filmed it ceases to be nothing much. Thus his 1990 low-budget cult film "Slacker," which shows some aimless people in Austin doing whatever, has become an emblem of "Generation X," and Linklater its ingenuously reluctant spokesperson.

In front of three slide projectors projecting white light with no pictures, Finley strides onstage wearing only black mules, her posture, tone and demeanor daring us to make her into a sex object. We can't because she won't allow us to, her voice stronger than our gaze, conquering and shaming her would-be voyeurs. She puts on a hat, gloves, stockings, a slip, one at a time against different projections of women's art, each time assuming a new persona with...
