...Aspen Comedy Festival, she doesn't do traditional monologues, yet her parodies and character pieces are not (like a lot of Whoopi clones) so much about showing off her performing virtuosity as opening a window into her alienated soul. Giving an account in court of a near rape, she describes being followed down a street by a man, panicking when she realizes the only self-defense she knows is origami, then asking the guy out dancing. At the end of her new show at the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York City, she strips totally naked and mimes her entire...
...editors: As a Duke University student who has been deeply affected by the recent allegations of the rape of a North Carolina Central University student by three Duke lacrosse players, I am not surprised that Brad Hinshelwood would address the “turmoil” on Duke’s campus in Harvard’s student newspaper (“Duke Scandal Raises Issues,” sports, Apr. 4), just as it has been covered in our student newspaper, local newspapers, and national newspapers like The New York Times.

For a school that has long been held up as striking an excellent balance between athletics and academics while avoiding the transgressions that have often marred programs at other big-time schools, this attention is new and exceptionally disappointing. Duke teams have often been held up as a model of how college athletics should be; an academically great institution fielding teams from which most players graduate...
DeSalvo, on the other hand, was a nightmare straight out of Thomas Harris. Born into a violent home in a rough neighborhood, he was a perfect storm of another kind--handsome enough to talk his way into women's homes, sick enough to rape and kill, smart enough to cover his tracks afterward. "All I know is that something would happen and I would have my arms around their necks," he told an investigator. (Junger makes extensive and creepily effective use of police transcripts.) DeSalvo sometimes posed his victims after the crime for shock value and left the victim...
