...Harvard must unfairly wallow in the disrespect afforded it by the national media, and Feaster must suffer because she chose to get a top-quality education while playing basketball...
...took to the airwaves--what else?--to assure her flock that she too had joined the national wallow, albeit in her own private Windsor way. She begged their indulgence as she too tried--here she reached for the supreme code word of touchy-feely self-pity--to "cope." This performance was not exactly Henry II having himself ostentatiously flogged for causing the death of Thomas Becket.

The album's 16 songs, including Tourniquet (which is getting steady play on MTV), wallow in nightmarish, frequently X-rated scenarios of occultism, suicide, torture, greed and mindless celebrity worship. "I'm so all-American I'd sell you suicide," Manson snarls over the sound of jackhammering drums and the buzz-saw scream of guitars. Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, and his group have...
