  • Harvard Fiction Some Gritical and Bibliographical Notes by HAMILTON VAUGHAN BAIL*
    Harvard Fiction Some Gritical and Bibliographical Notes BY HAMILTON VAUGHAN BAIL* N 1947 an article appeared in The Saturday Review of I Literature with the title, "Nostalgia for the Ivy"'^ in which the author made some brief remarks about the aspects of American college fiction of the past, mentioned a number of books dealing with several of our colleges, and ended on the theme that the revolutionary changes in life at these colleges would require and did require a new type of novel : The Great College Novel will not be easy to write. But the field is wide open for good college fiction that captures imaginatively the present spirit of the campus. Never before has college meant so much to so many, and it would be unfortunate if no gifted author were to give this era the immortality of print. Some two years later Edward Weeks was citing in a some- what different vein the lack of novels in this field: "For all the color, sentiment, and intensity—not to mention the 1 William Randel, "Nostalgia for the Ivy," The Saturday Review of Literature, XXX, No. 48, 10 et 6eq (November 29, 1947).

  • The Harvard Law Record 9/17/17, 202 PM
    Counterpoint: Sex Work Should Be Decriminalized | The Harvard Law Record 9/17/17, 202 PM Counterpoint: Sex Work Should Be Decriminalized Posted by The Record on April 24, 2008 in News BY LELA KLEIN Editor’s Note: The issue of sex work forms the basis of one of the most heated contemporary arguments among feminists. Those who support the abolition of prostitution often look at poststructuralist/postmodern feminists with confusion and anger. The “pro-sex” position seems like capitulation to male prerogative that lacks any threat to patriarchy; guaranteeing unlimited access to women’s bodies is something that men have always demanded, is one of the bases of sex inequality, and damages all women. “Pro-sex” feminists respond with equally strong outrage, seeing dominance feminists as doing exactly what men have always done: telling women what they can and cannot do with their bodies and denying women the ability to take control of their sexuality. To them, second-wave feminists reflect a moralizing conservatism against which feminists have always fought and sex work is a complicated series of actions with the potential not only for women’s erotic potential but for empowerment and liberation. These fights are often entrenched, ugly, and rather unproductive. Both sides credibly believe that theirs is the minority position, which makes the argument even more heated. There is one thing that all people should agree with, however, and that is a shared interest in improving the lives of sex workers. Across the world, sex workers are raped, beaten, and murdered on a regular basis. The legal system offers little recourse as it is common for police officers to rape and abuse sex workers.
