...breathing space and give-and-take ethnoreligious integrity. But recently that harmony has ceased to exist. Yugoslavia too had gone a long way toward evolving into the Switzerland of the Balkans, until Germany, the Vatican and a naive U.S. decided to unravel the Yugoslav federation in the name of chauvinist 'self-determination' rights. (The Rev.) GREGORY C. WINGENBACH Louisville, Kentucky...
...possible to separate the individual from his or her actions? Can we appreciate and applaud the Million-Man March despite the stained record of its organizer? Farrakhan has not made it easy for us to overlook his biases. Quite the contrary--the march itself reeks of Farrakhan's chauvinist attitudes. I have nothing against the all-male nature of the march.

It's the reverse-discrimination suit filed by eight men from Boston who found the Jenny Craig weight-loss organization too full of, well, female chauvinist pigs. The girl talk in the office, says plaintiff Joseph Egan, about "who to marry, who is pregnant, how to get pregnant" was offensive, and it was sexist to ask his male colleagues to shovel the snow and insensitive to tell another he was "sensitive for a guy." These men found themselves on a slower track than their female colleagues...
