Keep Harvard Male! Keep Harvard Straight!" Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield Jr. '53 was presented with a "David Duke Award for Teaching Excellence."

I guess Will's conservatism has a lot in common with that of the Nazi murderer. And Mansfield has offended most of the liberal constituencies at Harvard. I guess he must be a card-carrying member of the Ku Klux Klan. Pretty funny...
