...only things missing at the Lou Reed concert this past Friday night, surprisingly enough, was glitter. In fact, the sole trace manifested itself in three heavily made-up girls clothed in black, one of whom my brother mistook for a distaff Lou Reed. Prior to the concert, I envisioned the normally lackluster interior of the Orpheum illuminated by a gilded aura; an aura emanating from the regal attire of an audience which was jaded by overtones of bi- and even transsexuality.

Ever since George Washington carted home to Mount Vernon trunkloads of presidential papers, his successors and their executors have tightly controlled White House documents. The controversial agreement between representatives of Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon, giving Nixon shared control over his material and allowing him to destroy the records after five years, reaffirms past practice...
