Apparently there are very few scents that are universally offensive. I am not sure modern perfumes are as darkly constructed.

It should be up in a few hours. I often wondered, still do, how much of a person's personal life goes into their academic positions and lectures. A lot more than one might guess, I guess.

I always had a disturbing notion that he might be referring to his own love life. Or his childhood. Then again, the two may just go hand in hand with most people.
