...surface of the snare drum. Taking revenge on a hated rival: it's a moral imperative for great warriors, 8-year-old boys, silverback gorillas and the heroes of modern comedies. Ferrell's nut-job is also about as close as any male character in Step Brothers comes to sexual release...
...points out that service members must "accept living conditions and working conditions that are often spartan, primitive and characterized by forced intimacy, with little or no privacy." One can forgive the historically inappropriate reference to the Spartans - fierce warriors whose loyalty to one another in no way excluded sexual relationships, and indeed may have encouraged them. But the specter of "forced intimacy" recalled the worst kind of anti-gay bigotry: the notion that gays can't control themselves or respect sexual privacy.

While I was reading the report on Margie Profet's ''radical theory,'' which proposes that menstruation protects against sperm-borne infection ((HEALTH, . Oct. 4)), an obvious hole came to mind.

Guillem stands out with a sensational, long- limbed body and a cool, thoroughly modern wit. In alphabetical order, then, to avoid billing squabbles, portrait sketches...
...Pope's apology for what he termed the "evil" of sexual abuse committed by some clergy was welcomed, although less exuberantly. "I am deeply sorry for the pain and suffering the victims have endured and I assure them that, as their pastor, I too share in their suffering," Pope Benedict said. John Hennessey, a spokesman for victims of abuse by members of the Christian Brothers order, said he was "absolutely encouraged and delighted" by the apology: "I sincerely congratulate His Holiness for being brave enough to show leadership to the world." Chris MacIsaac, of the group Broken Rites, was less...
