P.S.  The NYT Magazine article on Nussbaum says that Mistress Martha played
Robespierre in her high-school drama club performance ("a five-act,
French-language production, no less).  Judging by her photo in the article,
I believe she must have made a dashing & cruelly seductive Robespierre.

no doubt.  however, it's unfortunate that an aging woman feels she must
[apparently] work out at the gym several days a week --from the looks of
her that is.  all very interesting in terms of the regulation and social
constitution of the body, no?  that is, while it's nice to display a little
lesbian eroticism it might also be nice to examine what 'we' are desiring
here and if it's such a good thing.
