...reading in a tabloidy, microfiche kind of way, but the exhibit can get awfully soporific, considering that it's about sex in New York City. There's a cover from a sixth edition of Margaret Sanger's Family Limitation and a display of Wonder Woman comic books under the rubric of lesbian pornography, which is particularly lame when you consider that someone could have gone to Times Square and got some better examples of girl-on-girl action. Curators can be so lazy...
...church. A weekly tithe of approximately 10 percent of a member’s gross income and a larger annual “missions” contribution supply the BCC with its revenue—which last year totaled $183 million. These missions often fall under the rubric of HOPE Worldwide, a program begun in 1991 to help the poor in over 80 countries...

Live City Sounds, her most recent release and her first for independent Rubric Records, quickly sold out its initial pressing and has generated excellent reviews.

Latin America and Latino America are very different subjects, and it’s hard to see why their history or sociology must be studied under the same rubric of “ethnic studies”—implying that some groups and regions are “ethnic” while others contain only colorless atomic selves. The curricular imbalance can be corrected by financial incentives, encouraging existing departments to explore neglected areas in more depth...
