...Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations, where Counter is director, could help fulfill one of the gravest intellectual necessities of our time: the proper understanding of other cultures. But it has shown a constant preference for the saccharine and supine to the intellectually rigorous. The Foundation gives students the comfortable voices of Laurence Fishburne and (twice) Jada Pinkett Smith, but spurns the likes of Ayaan Hirsi...
