...sexual equality. I don't like depending on others to get myself home. I don't like burdening people to go out of their way because of my "silly" fears. I can only ask for someone to walk me home half-jokingly because I am almost embarrassed to admit my trepidation, ashamed and annoyed that I alone am not always enough...

First, I will admit right off that I did not go to Gibson's speech. However, after reading the Crimson article ("Gibson Gives Offbeat Speech," News, Nov. 13 1996) and talking to several friends, I think I have a pretty good idea of what went on. Gibson had no point to make, no themes to discuss and no message to send to the Harvard youths that could grow up to shape the world. Instead he was flippant and crass. He littered his speech with profanities that I don't need to quote here. Now, I don't mean to sound...

...because I was badgering him so much that Gibson was not intelligent, he would not tell me anything as my "punishment." When I asked another friend the same question, prefaced with the same remarks, she snapped, "Look, they asked him to come, so he came, that's all," thus admitting that he really didn't have much to say. Why are these people so defensive? I think it's because they know that Gibson's "speech" was a mockery of the Harvard tradition of the exercise of reason and intellect, but they don't want to admit that they were...

...their knowledge and wisdom to the students. Mel Gibson doesn't belong here; he belongs in People magazine. Shame on the Graduate School of Education for bringing him here and wasting Harvard's precious resources. And shame on the students who went to see him and are embarrassed to admit that the emperor is wearing no clothes. --Justin Elliot Jones...

...with happy results. NICK CASSAVETES wrote and directed Unhook the Stars as a "love letter" to his mom GENA ROWLANDS, and, he says, "she sent me one with her amazing performance." Meanwhile, EMILIO ESTEVEZ directed and starred with dad MARTIN SHEEN in The War at Home. All three offspring admit, however, that it did mean they were a tad anxious about the finished product. "My other forays into directing were not fruitful," says Estevez (Remember Men at Work?). "I couldn't hit less than a triple on this one." Fortunately, Sheen was moved to tears when he first...
