...blown attack from the spectators. Kids with supersoakers and an artillery of water balloons ran interference and diverted the attention of the firefighters. The junior high students went for the firefighters on top of the trucks, launching water balloons with their three-man sling-shot. The adults manned the garden hoses.

Instead, it simply functions as attractive packaging for controversial liberal programs. When President Neil L. Rudenstine wanted to defend Harvard's affirmative action policies in the wake of a heated national debate over racial...
