...went to Picasso, a restaurant where diners are surrounded by real Picassos. None got as much attention as Goulet, who told jokes and flirted with the wait staff, wherein flirting means "grabbing ass." I learned much, like that Sinatra called him for singing advice and that "zemelheimer" is his euphemism for an erection. He was the biggest person I'd ever met--an Ali in a sea of Wayne Newtons...
...Harvard undergraduate, doesn't it? Guaranteed to be better than A World Without History, the first play by Kornhaber, who is also a Crimson editor, this production actually sounds hot.

Over their bones rose a new edifice of taste enforcement, even more coercive than the old--the transnational bureaucracy of late modernism, staffed by as pompous a set of dullards as ever infested the shorter corridors of cultural power in 1900, all bombing on about their radical credentials. "The accursed power based on privilege," as Hilaire Belloc wrote...
