...Ahmadinejad commands no legions-not even the Hizballah forces in Lebanon that attacked Israel in the summer of 2006-and if Podhoretz doesn't know that, he should. Taking Ahmadinejad literally, as the neoconservatives do, is being disingenuous with lethal intent. It gives license to a conga line of politicians-especially Republicans running for ?President-to strut their stuff by jumping on Ahmadinejad and Columbia University and liberals in general. Mitt Romney runs an ad in which he brags that he denied the milquetoast reformer Khatami a police escort to Harvard University in 2006. Now there...

...music blasted from the sound system. The most popular, a new tune written for the occasion, was a catchy Punjabi pop song whose refrain echoed through the makeshift stadium: "Hey man, take off your uniform.

...This was particularly the case during finals, when Lamont junkies only occasionally left their desks to dash out for foodstuffs, or maybe a much needed shower. The truly hard-core students even brought Primal Scream to the library—a contingent of a dozen or so nudists conga-lined through the third floor. Some promising political careers died that warm spring night. And now that Lamont has a café, we will never have to leave. Our library now serves all fundamental human needs.
