Hi Froma,
It's Leap Year, so I guess you think you can make leaps in logic. I'm referring to your "Sex sadly for sale everywhere" piece. How do you know for sure that Claire was a prostitute? Maybe she was simply more sexually adventurous than you. Maybe she preferred to have multiple partners. Maybe the money that you witnessed being exchanged was repayment of a loan, or for a dinner that Claire paid for that he promised to pay back, or for drugs, or any number of other things. It saddens me (your word) that even today men are called studs for scoring a lot of women, and women are labeled whores for doing the same thing. It's pathetic enough when men make these judgments, but for women to do it to each other - I don't get it. You must really think a lot of yourself to stand in judgment of another human being, to kick them out of their home, based on no evidence, without even giving them a chance to explain: "When Claire returned, I asked her to leave without elaborating. I'm sure Claire knew the reason, but she nonetheless seemed hurt." She didn't just SEEM hurt, she WAS hurt, probably because she didn't know the reason she was being evicted. Froma, have you met anyone who can read minds? I haven't. Perhaps you should have said your thoughts out loud. I'm very relieved that you became a journalist rather than a judge. You'd be terrible at it. If you had been the judge of the Duke Lacrosse case, the defendants wouldn't have been allowed to explain their side of the story.
