Print Mail Wikipedia VS Pritchett that rarity among writers: A happy man Jeremy Treglown does an excellent job of separating fact and myth in the author's somewhat Dickensian account of a family life dominated by his father By William Grims Sunday, Jan 16, 2005,Page 19 Advertising For nearly all of his very long life and career, VS Pritchett, the novelist, short-story writer and critic, was a man in the middle. Like Charles Dickens and HG Wells before him, he came from the English lower middle class "my country," he once called it and found his best material there. In politics, he took a humane position somewhere to the right of the left and to the left of the right. In his personal life, he was a devoted but not very faithful husband. He was too famous to be a cult writer, but never popular enough to escape the constant drudgery of reviewing, travel writing and other miscellaneous literary journalism. Drudgery, however, suited Victor Sawdon Pritchett, or VSP, for short. He thrived on it, as Jeremy Treglown makes clear in his concise, rather dutiful biography, appropriately subtitled

Extractions: About a year and a half ago, Opening Comments in Mimosa 18 ("Lost in the Sixties") described an ongoing fan history project that may lead to a book about 1960s fandom. This would not, of course, be the first such fan history book; it's intended to be, if anything, a sequel to some of the other fan history books that have already been published. The following article describes some of these, so if you've been wondering what an ideal fan history library should look like, wonder no more! The other night I was speaking to some eager young fans on one of the computer networks. They were curious about some aspects of fannish history, and I was regaling them with tales about past Worldcons and Claude Degler and Room 770, and one of them suddenly remarked that it was essential to get some of this stuff written down before the last of us oldpharts died and there was no one to codify fandom's history.

It is undisputed that Berger illegally stuffed original documents relating to America's response to the threat of Islamic terrorism into his coat, pants and briefcase. Berger then destroyed a number of these top-secret documents, so that they will never see the light of day. The idea that this was "an honest mistake," as Berger now claims, is ridiculous. Obviously, he was trying to destroy documents that showed the negligence of the Clinton administrationof which he was a key memberin dealing with the threat of terrorism. Key documents relating to our government's inadequate reaction to the threat of Islamic terrorism prior to Sept. 11 are now gone forever, successfully purged from the historical record by one of Bill Clinton's most loyal servants. This plea bargain appears, on its face, to be a disgrace. If anyone can think of a reason why this is not correct, please let us know.

Extractions: wchapman@titan.iwu.edu The title of Tania Modleski's Feminism Without Women refers, Modleski explains, to a confluence of two political/intellectual trends: the subsumption of feminism within a "more comprehensive" field of gender studies, accompanied by the rise of a "male feminist perspective that excludes women," and the dominance within feminist thought of an "anti-essentialism so radical that every use of the term 'woman,' however 'provisionally' it is adopted, is disallowed" (14-15). The two trends are linked, Modleski argues, because "the rise of gender studies is linked to, and often depends for its justification on, the tendendency within poststructuralist thought to dispute notions of identity and the subject" (15). These trends are troubling for Modleski because she fears that, insofar as gender studies tend to decenter women as the subjects of feminism, they may be not a "new phase" in feminism but rather feminism's "phase-out" (5). My concern in this essay is with male-authored work on gender of the type identified by Modleski, and in particular with its intersections with anti-essentialism (which, for the purposes of this essay, I will define broadly as the belief that gender is socially constructed). Although not all male-authored gender criticism by men is radically anti-essentialist
