| Introduction | I've finished my doctoral dissertation in American 20th century political/cultural history addressing the question of how hardcore pornographic films moved towards the mainstream of American culture since the late 1950s. I did not take a position, pro or con, I'm interested in how it became so widespread. |
| Interests | History, of almost any time and any culture; politics, both theoretical and practical; theatre, again both practice and theory. |
| Favorite movies | Sleuth (the Olivier/Caine version, the new Caine/Law attempt is getting horrendous reviews), Usual Suspects, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Harry Potter Saga, Anything with Judi Dench |
| Favorite music | Jazz, Classical (esp. the 19th cent. Russians), Broadway, Sinatra, |
| Favorite books | Arthur Conan Doyle, Truman Capote, Will and Ariel Durant, Sharon Kay Penman |
