If moderate Muslims would condemn and speak out against terrorism, mistrust would vanish. Same for discrimination: Muslim women wearing head scarves are signaling, Look how different I am!

...column, she took every opportunity to point it out. A short time later, Bucholz’s teammates hoisted him in the air to celebrate the no-hitter, and my friend went home—as always—a shamed Orioles fan. I was convinced. The Sports Illustrated cover jinx? Please. Ten days after the magazine featured Eli Manning on its cover, the little brother overcame a brutal postseason history to win the Most Valuable Player award in the Giants’ Super Bowl win. So the Harvard women’s basketball team will have to excuse...
