...American colleges supply chef-cooked meals, platinum pens, and designer teaching? Following recent stories in the media, an uninformed person (or a foreigner like me) might believe it to be so. While I look around for a pillow in my bare Harvard dorm, let me try to add a pinch of fact to the current debate about the institutions of higher learning and their allegedly absurd amenities...
...never support racial discrimination of that sort in our lifetime. The suggestion that a white élite school system has kept potential black players off the national team is ludicrous. If you travel to any corner of this magnificent country, you are hard-pressed not to stumble across a bare-bones soccer field with crude poles as goals almost constantly occupied by an exuberant squad of soccer-crazed black youths.

The French have no problem with bare breasts on billboards and TV, but big problems with hijab-covered heads in public schools and government offices. Many Muslims feel just the opposite. For most Europeans, prayer is something best done in private, a matter for individual souls rather than state institutions. In the Islamic world, religion is out of the closet: on the streets, chanted five times daily from minarets, enshrined in constitutions, party platforms and penal codes. Sexual...
