...will present his 1969 film, My Night at Maud's [Ma Nuit Chez Maud], and will probably discuss his latest work, Perceval (which will open in several weeks at the Welles). You may recall Claire's Knee and Chloe in the Afternoon, both of which dealt with sex and sexual fantasy in surprisingly moralistic ways. Ma Nuit Chez Maud is one of the earlier films in this series--once again about a potentially romantic, sexual relationship that doesn't come off (the main characters' Catholocism is too strong). Admission is $5.00, which is probably worth it to glimpse Rohmer while...
...lesbian affairs and his father's homosexual proclivities, schooled American readers in the eccentric love lives of the English aristocracy. Nicolson's mother, Vita Sackville-West, belonged to one of England's most venerable families; Knole, their fabled ancestral home, sheltered the sort of elaborate sexual and emotional transactions fashionable among the Bloomsbury set. But the Victorian era boasted its own dramas of unlikely passion: Vita's mother, Lady Victoria Sackville, was herself the illegitimate daughter of a Spanish dancer and a Sackville heir.

He also argues for insertion of an equal opportunity clause, which adds to the traditional prohibitions of discrimination on the grounds of race, sex and religious belief, the categories of political belief, sexual preference or marital status. "The lawyer kept insisting the clauses were inappropriate for a contract" Damman says -- but Shea kept insisting...
...Harvard professor published a mammoth academic tome, Sociobiology: The New Synthesis, arguing that social behavior has a biological base. The first 26 chapters on organisms and lower animals attracted little attention, but the final, almost offhand chapter on humans touched off the furor. Wilson speculated that the sexual division of labor is genetically based, genes may exist for homosexuality and spite, and a "loose correlation" is likely between genetically determined traits and worldly success. For his pains, Wilson was heckled, picketed and denounced as a sexist and racist...
