...bear it no longer. When the Crimson printed a stunningly inaccurate and misleading article about me recently, I was humiliated beyond words. When The Crimson was alerted to a number of factual errors in the article, the paper responded with indifference and a defensive letter from its attorney. That made me sad and weary--not the way I had hoped to feel leaving Harvard after nearly ten years of hard work and positive memories. Perhaps I should have known better, having seen students, professors, and administrators mercilessly crucified by The Crimson year after year. It is not that I suspect...

"Landlords want to work with their tenants, and when they have a good tenant who is making their best efforts to pay their rents, they want to keep them...
...Murray is not so benign; he is a crafty, venal man. He has been able to cling to some scientific legitimacy by downplaying many of the false assumptions in his work, emphasizing its factual elements, and ignoring substantive scientific rebuke. For example, in his Institute of Politics speech, Murray largely avoided the subject of race, and did not answer the stinging criticism of Agassiz Professor of Zoology Stephen J. Gould. He has claimed that The Bell Curve is not about race, but Adolf Hitler could have made that argument about Mein Kampf. Major portions of the book deal with race...
