Sex Inc.

By C. Warner Sills and Mark Casey · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 5:56 p.m.

Sex sells. This law of nature is the reason people will read this article. It's the reason the title alone might hook some from the second they pick up the magazine. It's for this reason nearly every city in America has at least one strip club. It's why there's a little adult bookstore on street corners the world over.

Shields provides refreshing look at education

By L. R. Rarick · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 2:07 a.m.

It was such a pleasure to see the article on Carol Shields and her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Stone Diaries" in the Oct. 3 issue of Home Pages. Her interest in limestone, emphasized in the article, is certainly very relevant in Bloomington, which has historically been noted for its limestone quarries. "The Stone Diaries" is a multicultural triumph, however. It won not only a Pulitzer Prize but also the National Book Critics Circle Award, Manitoba Book Award, and Canada's Governor General's Award, and was a finalist for Britain's Booker Prize. Carol Shields was not only a novelist, she was also a good storyteller who could write domestic fiction.
