UPDATE, SELA WARD/WARD CHURCHILL STORY. In a recent talk, Sela's elaborate disguise [see UD, 2/14/05] begins to disintegrate. Today it's her ethnic identity; tomorrow, her gender. From the Honolulu Star Bulletin: ' Churchill did address the issue of his ethnicity, admitting that he is not Native American. "Is he an Indian? Do we really care?" he said, quoting those he called his "white Republican" critics. "Let's cut to the chase; I am not," he said.
