"She doesn’t want to leave that magic island when she was the ripening teenager. . . Move on! Move on! Get on to menopause next!" -- That would be none other than Camille Paglia on Naomi Wolf, her former arch-nemesis and current accuser of Harold Bloom, Curmudgeon Extraordinaire. Wolf alleges that back in her Yale undergrad years 80's Bloom sexually harrassed her -- before writing her a recommendation for the Rhodes Scholarship. Paglia, a Bloom disciple and no slouch in the kulturkampf department, is unsurprisingly disgusted with the whole thing. To me it's like a bad Godzilla movie: Attack of Mecha-AgingBoomer!
