More on Affirmative Action in the morning perhaps. Now Sophie is telling me I have to "be a mom," which means trying to come up with clothes for her to wear for her fifth-grade social studies project, Fashions of the Sixties and Seventies. She's going as a Chelsea girl. This is what they mean by hands-on education, I suppose. Do you think I should let her bring in the "Help Us Get High" sign she copied from one pictured in Jane and Michael Stern's Sixties People? Or would that land the whole family in drug reeducation camp?

Don't want to totally neglect the Vatican murder, though. Front page of the New York Times! I couldn't believe it. It's like Jerry Springer for religious people. Do you think "going postal" will be replaced by "going Swiss"? Killer Was Bitter Over Reprimand, Vatican Says. And who can blame him?

Time for dinner,
Katha
