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.
OMG. A Miniseries.

Hoo boy. Probably won't happen.
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.
