...from me to sully the frivolity that I’ve spent an entire academic year creating in this, my hallowed column space. Conversations about Cornel or the plight of Af-Am at Harvard are reserved for a more earnest forum. No, when talking about race-based issues in the twenty-first century, I can’t help but rant about something a bit less important, a bit more…well, glam...
Fletcher University Professor Cornel R. West ’74 recently compared Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (and University President Lawrence H. Summers) to a bull in a china shop.

Nowhere is such insolence demonstrated more than in the Crimson staff’s editorial “A Childish Departure” printed April 18, 2002. The piece is little more than a shallow misrepresentation of student sentiments...
