...Today, by comparison, the timbre of activism seems a bit more hands-off. The protests of this year ran from a “die-in” at a fall career forum and a grievance-airing at a speech by the director of the FBI to the hunger strike and the “I am Harvard” racism campaign. But at no point were administrators and students—or police and students, for that matter—nearly as at odds as they were a few decades...

They simply attempt to shout over any opponent. The most recent example of such behavior was the harassment of FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III at an Institute of Politics Forum in April.

One U.S. official says that some FBI agents were well aware that the military was using "very aggressive" interrogation methods that would not be condoned in the U.S. An Army officer seems to confirm that. Among Arab men, he tells TIME, sexual insecurity is a powerful lever: fear of homosexuality and, almost as significant, female domination...
