...Million Man March, to which, she complains, women were not invited, "as if black women remaining in the community and quietly taking care of business while the men are elsewhere is anything new." Though Nelson argues convincingly that black women need to raise a collective howl of rage, her disorganized mix of social and political commentary, personal story and random musings on everything from menopause to high heels produces a whiplash effect...

As for Cunanan's actual HIV status, that remains for the coroner's office to disclose. Florida law imposes strict privacy rules even...
Corliss implies grind-house films are all the rage today simply because they are ridiculous. Like they're cool because they're so awful. I don't think so. We do not love exploitation films because we want to relive a past decade of innocence.
