...sounds like you had to become a frostier person to do this job. Did you notice that happening...
...full house of parents offered University President Lawrence H. Summers a pair of standing ovations in Sanders Theatre this weekend, one year after the president attracted a far frostier reception. Last year’s speech to Harvard parents visiting Cambridge for Junior Parents Weekend was marked by an unusually contentious question-and-answer session focused almost entirely on Summers’ January 2005 remarks on women in science.

Actually, it would be hard for them to do that, since most of them hadn't seen it when they spouted off. (Liberals used to deride those religious conservatives who organized protests of films they hadn't yet seen.) Instead, they wrap their bludgeons in Scripture, or historical citations, or obscure pronouncements from a religious hierarchy...
