SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER

Here is a fascinating memoir. Hearing Anita Hill reveals more than simply reading her. One clearly discerns her agenda in her self-conscious delivery, her straining for dignity and restraint, as she discusses the Thomas confirmation hearing that thrust her into national prominence. Was she sexually harassed by the Supreme Court Justice? What she alleges here provides fewer clues than how she says it. Y.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAR/APR 98]
