...recruited out of high school by Stanford, the University of North Carolina, and other Ivy League schools, the native of Moraga, California initially considered Stanford his top choice. But after an overhaul of the entire Stanford coaching staff and a postgraduate year at Phillips Exeter, Harvard became a natural fit for Breaux...
...more than twice the inflation-adjusted size of the Marshall Plan—will please politicians (and their friends) but won’t actually help victims. Instead, the government should directly give victims money, allowing them to escape or rebuild the Gulf Coast as they see fit. The government should give victims vouchers and let the private market supply housing, not order FEMA to build refugee camps.

(He doesn't mention that GLSEN's last big survey, in 2003, found "a significant decline" since 2001 in the use of epithets like fag. Or that about the same proportion of kids--three-quarters--hears fag as hears sexist remarks.) Regardless, the pro-gay government programs he favors seem highly unlikely in this political environment. That's in part...
