INGRID SISCHY: I thought it would be great if our column touched on a subject weaving in and out of this special issue. Our working title for it is "A Nervous Splendor," after the book of that name by Frederic Morton about turn-of the-century Vienna over 100 years ago. Although there are many, many differences, it feels like there are also a lot of parallels between this time and then. What do you think?

CAMILLE PAGLIA: Well, I would say that most people living during the genial Belle Epoque before World War I would not have thought there was an underlying ...
