Apologies for the short notice/' began the e-mail I received late in the afternoon on Tuesday, June 30* It was from the assistant press secretary for foreign affairs at the National Security Council, asking if I could meet with President Barack Obama Thursday morning for a roundtable in advance of his meeting with the pope in Rome* Yes, I replied, yes I can. He then spoke with real conviction about why gays and lesbians might legitimately feel victimized by Christian churches.

For the first time in the history of the Yale School of Drama, it has named a performance space, rededicating the New Theater at 1156 Chapel St., as the Frederick Iseman Theater.
