Last week the ecoactivists staged a "Damn DDT Day" in San Francisco's Union Square. The movement has its own songs including a cutting eco-version of America the Beautiful. The lyrics...
...trouble with the Israelis is that they are too damn decent and moral. Arabs are without scruples, and where it suits their purposes they break cease-fire agreements, employ paramilitary terrorists, plant bombs in marketplaces, hijack and shoot at Israeli civilian planes, kill Jews and their gentile sympathizers in Europe and America, enlist the use of U.N. agencies in their cause, and generally ignore civilized conduct and international laws and norms.

And I found him calling radicals "criminals" and talking about a wave of "anti-intellectualism" sweeping the University. He pointed out that even some of the most liberal Faculty people in the social sciences had opposed the Heimert resolution, which passed, he said, only with the votes of a lot of biologists and physicists who weren't going to have anything...
