THOSE. space. ‘shows so
many of us like to watch

lel coexisting realities,
-Sometimes. the. worlds
are just ever: so- slightly
out of phase in terms of
.the ‘space-time continu-
um, yet there they are,
available for the traveler
to’slip into and out of at

tage; the power and mystery
of menstruation; the’ First

Cuban realities today; and
safer sex, ‘safer drugs, safer
