...inherently different approaches to covering he news—the Salient’s decision to publish them warrants commendation, as it reflects their commitment to an informed public and a free press. The Salient’s reprinting furthered the free-speech debate by informing students about the actual images that proved so provocative in the Middle East. In order for there to be productive debate on the merits of the cartoons and their publication, citizens (and Harvard community members) must actually see the images rather than accept mere second-hand accounts of their supposed religious insensitivity. The Salient?...
...that the science behind climate change is uncertain--and in fact it is. While there's little doubt that humans are helping heat up the planet, the questions of how much, how quickly and leading to what consequences are fiendishly difficult to pin down. That's because the actual climate is still far more complicated than any existing computer model can accurately reflect, making predictions iffy at best.

In this light, Summers did the petition-circulators an immense favor: he catapulted a hopeless divestment call from obscure e-mail lists to the pages of The New York Times. Summers likely did this to establish in the national press a strong test for discrimination with respect to anti-Semitism. (Summers, notably, would never support such strong a test for discrimination on any other issue.) He harnessed the same power of the divestment demand that...
...like war, I've suggested, but it's also unlike war, mostly because the quarry poses no threat. In a time of actual war - and when one of the hunters helps to run that war - the playfulness of the sport may seem distasteful. To shoot at feathered things while obliging other folks to shoot at much larger creatures that shoot back doesn't seem right somehow, or wise. At some poetic level it tempts the gods, and the gods are always armed. For Cheney, that's the painful, humbling part. For the public, it's the engrossing, mythic part...
