The title Safe Sex is a bit misleading, despite the program's cover art showing a raised male thumb with a condom on it. (We know the thumb is male because it's connected to a lean, muscular, bare torso.) By 1987 with the full tide of the AIDS epidemic and the rhetoric of people like Nancy Reagan, the phrase "safe sex" carried resonances it had never had before and has somewhat lost since. In short, the gay sexual revolution of Torch Song Trilogy is over. While the middle playlet is actually titled "Safe Sex," it's really more about a kind of odd couple, a Punch and Judy lovers' quarrel. Neither is safe sex an issue in "On Tidy Endings," in which no sexual encounters are contemplated. Instead, it is only the first playlet, "Manny & Jake," that addresses the implicit theme of the who...
That's a damned shame-not because Ledger doesn't deliver a terrific performance, but Christopher Nolan's movie deserves more than the unspoken subtitle Featuring Heath Ledger's Last Completed Performance. As much as any of Nolan's films, The Dark Knight uses genre packaging to deliver a brilliantly knotty tangle of philosophical questions.

From the looks of the art they left behind, Indians used to be randy in the old days -- probably not as sex-obsessed as we are today,
The Selfridge Collection of Medici manuscripts at Harvard Business School's Baker Library is the largest collection of Renaissance Florentine account books outside Italy. This collection documents both the business and personal economic activities of one branch of the Medici family through six generations. This patrimony of family documents was sold by the Medici heirs through an auction at Christie's of London in 1918; and in 1927 the buyer, H Gordon Selfridge, deposited the ledgers at the Harvard School of Business Administration. But one item in the Christie's inventory was missing. In 2007, the author found this missing item in the catalogue of a Munich antiquarian book dealer. Francesco de' Medici opened Ledger 519 to keep accounts for his earliest ventures into the Florentine mark...
Fayette County Controller Sean P. Lally on Friday recommended that county prison officials immediately implement a ledger system to keep track of the inmate welfare account. He told the county prison board that audits performed by his department determined some prison bills are not being paid and inmate medical co-pays are not being collected.
