Finally, it is interesting to note Oppenheim's selective blindness in the observance of BGLTSA posters. While the phrase "oppressive paradigm" may remain for him an amusing snippet of lit-crit jargon, the pervasiveness of outspoken heterosexuality on this campus cannot be denied. Has Oppenheim never seen a heterosexually risqué poster for a Harvard dance, a cappella concert or theatrical production? While innocuous enough, the prevelance (and thus the privileging) of heterosexual behavior and the attendant invisibility of homosexuality legitimizes a climate of homophobia.

...reorganize education in the United States from the ground up, one can't help but wonder how to categorize the work.

That rumor gets a sneer from Klein ("I don't think Clinton would change policy toward Germany to get better treatment from John Travolta"), but the actor has warm memories of the chat, in which he says Clinton spoke of an old roommate who had been a Scientologist. Travolta insists his performance wasn't swayed by the President...
Charlie Haden had nothing to prove, Gonzalo Rubalcaba did--that neatly summarizes the outspoken energy Cuban pianist Rubalcaba injected into the jazz trio led by legendary bassist Haden on one of the two recently released Montreal Tapes...
