Thank you for that link, PJ. I know just what she means when she describes the sensation of not being able to process one more bad thing.

I was shocked to see Sydney Pokorney's name among the list of the dead. I had no idea. I was deeply involved in the creation of the paper that published her groundbreaking Madonna piece in1989 that is covered in her Wikipedia entry linked in the article. I am sad to learn this.

She is an extraordinary writer and intellect. I remember her at those meetings--she looked like a kid tagging along with the smart guys--and at 16, she was! She was like Anybodys in the all-ACTUP production of West Side Story, but when she opened her mouth and spoke, it was with the wisdom of the woman she has become today.

On ABC? This material would be much better suited for HBO.

For those of us who sat-in, died-in and risked arrest back then, this article reads like something from The Onion.

But life, I guess, is stranger than reality.
