...manners." Yet whatever Clinton says, and whatever Congress does, neither side can take much credit for the luminous State of this Union, since they have spent the year in a locker room, arguing about sex. And in the year in which the phrase divided government came to refer to a government divided from its people, says Brownback, that "is the biggest disconnect...
...case, which is expected to go to the jury after closing arguments early this week, has been punctuated with such bizarre and graphic accounts of Capano's sexual activities that at times the local newspapers have chosen not to publish some of the testimony.

...understand Johnson's appeal to the language of "egalitarianism" and the importance of equality of opportunity. But we must remember that there are plenty of single-sex organizations at Harvard which do not exist because of some latent sense of gender superiority. I refer to organizations such as the Din and Tonics or the Radcliffe Pitches which have all male or female membership. In both cases there are artistic values associated with all-male or all-female voices and skits and the reason why we hear no outcry is because these opportunities are balanced for men and women...
