today! A new poll has been created for the dramatists group: Who
is your favorite modern playwright? [Choices were Arthur Miller,
Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, David Mamet, Oscar Wilde,
Edward Albee, Tom Stoppard, Tony Kushner, Samuel Beckett, Peter

a single woman on it? Oscar Wilde is a "modern playwright",
but Churchill isn't? Gawd, it's as if I woke up this morning
back in the 50s, where everyone was sure and repeated incessantly:
"There has never been and there never will be a woman who...."
Thanks for the insult to half your colleagues, jerk! (8/04/05)
