...female the presidential post; among others, Nannerl Keohane assumed the position at Duke University in 1993 and Judith Rodin has been president at the University of Pennsylvania since the same year. But Harvard has historically been a bastion of WASP gentility--and traces of that aristocratic outlook still exist today. The maids' quarters may now house students, but the male-only final clubs continue to thrive, and those with a Harvard legacy in their family are unjustifiably given preferential treatment in the admissions process. The presidential search is a fortuitous opportunity to step away from the WASP legacy that continues...
...noticeable that in all of the footage from 1972, the word "Palestinian" is never used. The gunmen are described simply as "Arab." Indeed, at the time of Munich, the Palestinians were still a forgotten people and Israeli prime minister Golda Meir was notoriously insisting they did not exist.

Write a poem." Or spend a few hours with Fitzgerald...
...Australian life that it does in American; the churches have power, but compared with the U.S. our civilization is almost entirely secular. Our state-sponsored education is excellent, and we do not give a cent in subsidies to church schools. And we have fierce democratic commitments that hardly exist in America. It is, for example, a (lightly) punishable offense not to vote in a national election. As for campaign contributions, and all the corruption and perversion of democracy that the pursuit of them creates in the U.S., they don't exist in Australia; a whole national election costs less...
