Damn - well so much for *subtle* discrimination.
As an interesting aside, I just sent the Head of the Bioethics
department here two science fiction stories to use as teaching aids in
examining bioethical issues. One was Joanna Russ' "Where late the sweet
birds sang" a classic cloning story and the other was Nancy Kress' "The
mouuntain to Mohammed".
I am now helping him plan the lecture around these works. I didnt
*know* that Joanna Russ was so radical (I tend to care more about the
ideas of writers as opposed to their personal lives which in my personal
world would remain their own business) and I wonder if he would be
teaching her if he *knew* her sordid politics (sarcasm).
