...entirely antic belief that bigotry is something that happens in other places, to other people, is dependent upon a notion of Harvard as somehow detached, exempt from what occurs outside of its consoling walls. Harvard becomes an airless alter-environment in which intolerance is impolitesse. It is part of what keeps the closeted in their tombs of stifled denial...

It is stylized: worn, with cracked pavements below buildings of a Moorish-Disney design that might be called "mosqueteer." For visitors with an antic mind and a free year or two, Dinoland offers a trove of comic minutiae, including "Chester and Hester's," a garage full of dino-doodads...
