...Harvard Crimson, Albert Einstein’s head is pasted onto the emaciated, half-naked body on an anonymous woman in a cartoon by a Maxim “artist” presenting his ideal Harvard president. Free exchange of ideas...
...that such speech is legal, but that members of my community traffick in hate speech. Fortunately, we can all rest easy that Out of Town News and Nini’s Corner do not carry such garbage.

This opera is, after all, a fairy tale—albeit a bizarre one full of Masonic rituals and Egyptian gods. And like all fairy tales, Die Zauberflöte seeks to teach us a moral. Its particular lesson—the transformative power of brotherhood and love—would lose much of its force if we forgot, even for a minute, that what we are watching is markedly not the world...
