Perhaps Havel will enlighten us as to his past actions. But more significantly, we await the address of the statesperson and linguistic enthusiast who wrote: "Words that electrify society with their freedom and truthfulness are matched by words that mesmerize, deceive, inflame, madden; words that are harmful, even lethal.

Harvard has always been a place that is mindful of traditions. As a great enthusiast for traditions myself, I wonder why the University abandoned the original way of dealing with housing applications.

If Guinier had argued for cumulative voting as a better voting system as a way of improving the political representation of women, or even as a way of giving oppressed members of the gun-enthusiast and smoking minorities a greater political voice, Guinier would probably have been spared the degree of abuse she went through. But Guinier was worried about race. And it was Guinier's fixation on race that worried everyone else...
