...then, parents, the important thing is to stay calm. You've seen Ma- donna wiggling on MTV -- right, she's the pop-tart singer with the trashy outfits and the hi-there belly button. What is worse, your children have seen her. You tell your daughters to put on jeans and sweatshirts, like decent girls, and they look at you as if you've just blown in from the Planet of the Creeps. Twelve-year-old girls, headphones blocking out the voices of reason, are running around wearing T shirts labeled VIRGIN, which would not have been necessary 30 years...
...east on 42nd Street and then south on Lexington and there was a street fair. It was the summer and I had on a winter coat and was carrying a suitcase. This guy started following me around. He wasn't cute or anything, but he looked interesting. I said hi to him, and he said, "Why are you walking around with a winter coat and a suitcase?" And I said, "I just got off the plane."

We're stuffed toys based on actual animals that live at Michael Jackson's house. For $22 you can buy me or half a dozen other furry knockoffs from the Jackson menagerie. Michael went along with this deal because one buck for every animal sold goes to a charity he picks. And six of you lucky buyers will get to visit the master and his real pets...
Rather than hi-falutin' talk we need new thinking-rigorous and cosmopolitan-about the role of Blacks at elite institutions like Harvard. When it is forthcoming we'll see new and viable behavior by Black alumni-not Black alumni weekends but large financial gifts by wealthy and not-so-wealthy Black alumni to endow professorships in African Studies or American Studies, like Armenian-American alumni endow in Armenian studies and for study of genocide in modern states, or Jewish American alumni endow in Middle Eastern Studies, or Irish-American alumni in Celtic Studies. It takes more rigorous reflection on these...
