Some courses, including a couple of current ones, have from time to time been taught by members of more than one department. But a number of men obviously would chafe if they had to teach under the proposed system. "When you get a committee telling me that I give a lecture on this one day and on that another day, I feel like a $50-a-day call girl," rasps one. "There's nothing here that belongs to me but two lectures in a smorgas-bord that a committee has put together...
Judge Irving H. Saypol was not impressed. In a blistering and verbose 19-page ruling (with three long appendixes) that cited such diverse sources as William Pitt the Elder and Saypol himself, the judge said that Weinstein's complaint must be answered.

Troublesome Islamic minorities chafe in China, Thailand, the Philippines, as well as India. A leading Bombay Moslem complains: "Hindu customers never allow me in their offices at lunchtime because they feel my presence would pollute their food. How can we ever live as brothers?" Hindus return hate for hate. Nehru himself once remarked that Hindu communalism was "the Indian version of fascism." Social, let alone sexual intercourse between young people of the two religions has been known to lead to murder...
