...It’s not a shop, it’s a shrine,” said Eamon Grennan, one of the featured poets, who discovered Grolier while a graduate student at Harvard. “I suppose in its own way, it’s sort of a chapel...
University President Lawrence H. Summers’ treatment of anti-Semitism within Harvard’s divestment movement at last Tuesday’s Morning Prayers was both disingenuous and divisive. Addressing a small audience in the intimate setting of Appleton Chapel, he offered a list of examples of “actions that are anti-Semitic in their effect if not their intent” advocated by “serious and thoughtful people.” He capped off this list with a dismissive attack on those who have lobbied Harvard to divest from Israel...

And what could be more predictable than the brouhaha that followed: the rumbling overture on Christian websites; the brassy solo by Fox News's Bill O'Reilly, who compared the assignment to having students read Hitler's Mein Kampf...
