Rubenstein's statements about Kott's office and the amount of time Kott spent there seem to contradict assertions that Oxford made in a civil case filed last year against Oxford, Kott and other defendants. After the plaintiffs tried to serve a summons on Kott at Oxford's offices, he and Oxford persuaded an appeals court judge to quash the summons. The main reasons: Kott had no office at JB Oxford, and he lived in Canada, not California. (Rubenstein says this isn't a contradiction because the office was provided to employees of Kott's consulting firm. Yet he acknowledges...
Finally, the reporter for the story, Fahrenthold, is a first-year comper, who told me that he felt uncomfortable writing the story and doesn't want to cover such material in the future. This seemed to contradict The Crimson's recently instituted diversity program which included among its stated goals the assignment of sensitive stories to experienced reporters...
Harvard students are a very diverse group, whether we are talking about political leanings or favorite clothing catalogues.

A vast universe of American public life, including citizen-based initiatives in health care, education, government, the media, race relations, economic life and much more--remains largely invisible. The notion of citizen withdrawal from public life feeds on itself: if we accept the notion that others...
JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to slow the withdrawal of his troops from the town of Hebron, the last occupied town in the West Bank. His proposal will contradict part of the Israel-PLO autonomy accord agreed to by PLO leader Yasser Arafat and former Prime Minister Shimon Peres. Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai will present the proposal, which calls for Israeli troops to continue to patrol both the streets of Hebron and the corridor between Hebron and the nearby Israeli town of Kiryat Arba, gradually pulling out if no violence occurs. An Israeli government spokesman said the plan...
