Right here...but there's a limit to the amount of typing I'm
prepared to do, even for y'all.  In the last week, I've read
the NYTimes piece, the *faaabulous* 25th Anniversary issue of
the ADVOCATE, the much-improved 2nd issue of OUT!, the
still-tre`s-gai post-Tina VANITY FAIR, Tina's exciting 2nd
issue of THE NEW YORKER ("exciting" being not necessarily A
Good Thing, you understand :-)), my friend Steven Saylor's
*faaabulous* second novel, "Arms of Nemesis" (St.  Martin's
Press), and there's been stuff in each of them that I've
wanted to regurgitate here.  Faced with such a daunting
stockpile of materials, not to mention the need to do some
*real* work, let me just suggest that y'all run out and read
this stuff for yourselves...

(Especially Steven's book :-))  BTW, John Preston has another
collection of gay men's writing (including a piece by Steven
Saylor), this time about their families -- it's called "A
Member of the Family".  I don't have my copy handy, but I
think it's published by Dutton.  His excellent collection
from last year, "Hometowns" (gay men writing about same) is
now out in paperback...

The *label* is not the issue.  Were the *label* all-important, it would
be much, much cheaper to buy an every-day suit, have a graphic artist
whip up a copy of someone's label, and then sew the damn thing into
the suit.

Where nobody can see it.

The label does not transform the suit into a thing of quality.  The suit
itself will show the quality.  As for hiring a tailor to do the job,
this is often done with shirts.  And with shoes.  But it would cost even
more than two grand to have an entire suit made, at least one of similar
quality to G. Armani (a proper name, and thereby deserving of
capitalization).
If a 'tailor' could make suits like that, his name would appear in Vogue,
too.  Tailors are very skilled people, but they are not fashion designers.
And, for that matter, the fashion designers themselves would probably
have a tough time actually *making* the clothes they design.

One thing that I find continually amazing is that I have heard virtually
nothing about the problems in Oregon in the local media. (I read the Boston
Globe every weekday and watch both local tv news and cnn every evening.)

I have been printing out and filing all of the articles here in soc.motss
about the issue, and I'm about ready to summarize it all in a letter to the
Boston Globe and demand to know why they haven't handled this issue.

By 'we' you mean 'us white folk?'  Assuming this is the same Donald,
I believe his .sig would give most people a clue that he is, in
fact, not one of 'us.'  You know... <<he's black>>.

Melmon is like the eponymous character in _Terminator 2_, a *top* *grossing*

I dunno - I've gone for about a half-year without eating meat a couple
of times, and didn't find it particularly difficult.  (The second time
wasn't even planned - I just noticed that I hadn't eaten meat for a
month or so, and figured that I might as well keep it up for a while.)
Admittedly, this is a bit different from going for years on end
without eating meat, but it's still a reasonble amount of time.  It
just seemed like a natural thing to do, and I didn't have any
particular problems with it when I was eating at restaurants, at
friends' houses, or at my parents' house.

"The Bone of Jealousy". Now why does that sound like a Twilight Zone  
episode crossed with a cheap porno flick?

"Meet Mr. Dyer, a tasteful computer consultant from the East Coast. He's  
never shown an ill tempered emotion in his life; he's kind, he's generous,  
and all his friends love him. But tonight, he faces a challenge darker and  
more frightening than any man has ever known... will he meet his match in  
the BONE OF JEALOUSY?"
