...relive. And then add in the fact that, even for those of us (like me) who were “out” and don’t have to worry about having to come out all over again, you know you will be a small minority at the Reunion, in a sea of people who you don’t remember to have been very accepting to begin with, and the appeal of such an event is lost on LGBT alumni. I come back every five years anyway but, frankly, often wonder while in Cambridge why the hell...
...offer these insights to help readers understand why this fall’s first-ever Harvard LGBT Reunion is so important. Akin to similar LGBT reunions held at other Ivy League schools such as Dartmouth as well as those for other Harvard alumni subgroups such as African-Americans, Harvard’s first-ever LGBT Reunion offers the university a chance to reconnect with a group of alumni who are often alienated from the university and wary of attending its events.

I don’t go in expecting the reunion to suck. I actually (gasp!) expect to have fun. And that’s reason enough for me to come back and give Harvard another chance...
...satanic thriller Angel Heart (De Niro was the Devil), as a gangster in Elephant Man makeup in Johnny Handsome and a lowlife genius in a film of Charles Bukowski's Barfly directed by Barbet Schroeder (who also had a film at Venice; the Lido was one big Rourke reunion).

There's a chapter where Charlie Blackwell is drinking heavily, and he buys the baseball team and gives up drinking and finds religion, and obviously those have George Bush parallels. But there's all this other stuff that has to do with a Princeton reunion, and Alice Blackwell's sister-in-law having doubts about her own marriage. So even in the sections that borrow most heavily from real life, almost everything is made up. And of course, literally, every scene is made up - because even if we all know that there's a point...
