Most Jews at Harvard are very loyal to the university and they find it difficult to admit that fair Harvard, which gives them so much, is not willing to accept them as Jews. Instead, many argue for the preservation of the status quo. But this constitutes a sanctification of Harvard's history including its errors. It would seem to me that loyalty to Harvard, an institution dedicated to "Veritas," should lead us rather to an impartial, critical attitude so that we may make it a better institution for all people...
...noticed when he won game after game with his bat, and when he knocked in as many runs, finally, as Lynn did. But face it--Lynn got most of the glory. Not that Rice would care, or that he was ignored, or that any fan would be prepared to admit a visceral preference for Lynn. But it was demeaning simply that Rice and Lynn were always mentioned in the same breath.

But the great majority of Gov faculty remained somewhere in the middle--generally favorable to Kearns but concerned that the book would not turn out to be the scholarly work they had reviewed...
...that being beaten up by a gifted father has a peculiar horror to it; all that intelligence coming at you twisted and roaring." What is bad about this is that Sheed has not a shred of evidence that Ali's gifted father beat him up, as he must admit in the next sentence: "Whether Ali's childhood was like this, or anything like this, it would be impertinent to guess-and he isn't saying." This is the sort of guff that the English press writes on dull days: "Is Queen Elizabeth pregnant again? It would...
