Following a very different kind of free-speech controversy last November, Peretz professor of Yiddish literature Ruth R. Wisse wrote in a Crimson op-ed: “Free speech being one of democracy’s dearest privileges, we should use it to protect and honor those worthiest of our esteem.” Wisse’s standard applies nicely to the current debate. Students citing the Constitution to defend every act of obscenity and rabble-rousing on college campuses should show more discretion when deciding what speech is worthy of their esteem...
...away with murder, cross-dressing or "the girl"; they were reflections of their brilliantly duplicitous writer-director. And though his voice was caustically distinct, Wilder triumphed in a wide variety of genres. He made the sauciest farce (Some Like It Hot), the darkest film noir (Double Indemnity), the dearest romantic comedy (Sabrina) in Hollywood history--as well as the tartest evocation of Hollywood history (Sunset Blvd.).

...seriousness, the death of Dartmouth swimming is a tragedy. Three coaches will lose their jobs, and 53 student-athletes will lose the activity they hold dearest. It’s a scene that occurs too often across the country now. When wallets dry up, or when Title IX requirements become impossible to fulfill, the small sports are the first to go.

The teams roam around the single’s hometown searching for willing parties to play potential soul-mate. Each team then chooses a perfect partner who is taken on two fabulous dates caught on camera. Blossoming romance or no, the lucky singleton must then give the verdict on whether family or friends make...
...over the next several years, reminding all people of good will that democracy will prevail against even its most determined enemies. This is not a task for Jews only, but for everyone who prefers truth to falsehood, peace to terror. Free speech being one of democracy’s dearest privileges, we should use it to protect and honor those worthiest of our esteem...
