I feel sorry for all those poor media types who have recently, in numerous heart rending columns, eulogized the brave and courageous Anita Hill. Here she is hobnobbing with the likes of Hilary Clinton and Gloria Steinem and being named Vanity Fair’s Woman of the Year.

New York. Contrary to the wishes of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade organizers, New York major David Dinkins allowed a contingent of militant homosexuals to march in the March 17 parade.
