1. A breach or rent; a breaking forth into a loud, shrill sound.
2. An harangue; a long tirade on any subject.
3. A record of her attempt to climb out of writer's block

the times has an essay on interracial dating. read on; i'll probably have more to say about it later.
Great link. I've been thinking a lot about what racism/sexism/etc. cost the "oppressing class" lately(since as an educated upper-middle class U.S. white guy I'm always in that class), and this is a nice illustration. Putting oneself above necessarily involves putting oneself apart, and as a guy who believes that God is most directly experienced through our interactions with other people, putting oneself apart is never a good thing. So OK, we decided that it was all a big mistake, let's all get back together now and let bygones be bygones, but of course that's not how things work.
