...lake is not a cop. He has no formal training in forensics or any other aspect of law enforcement. But in the past year he has made it his business to master the intricacies of handwriting analysis, envelope technology and the schedule of U.S. mail pickups in and around Princeton, N.J. He can tell you all about cross-contamination, the common misspellings of penicillin and the "pharmaceutical fold" used by chemists for centuries to dispense medicines--and by person or persons unknown to wrap scrawled terror messages around a few billion spores of surprisingly pure anthrax...

Their failure to do so is a lazy intellectual cop-out. Moreover, without the emergence of individuals from colleges like Harvard who are prepared to question publicly the wisdom of the ruling elites, the next few decades look extremely bleak for both of the parties in Washington. Student activism, for the sake of both the parties and the students involved...
