...just as well today. “Beyond the happy mayhem of the French Quarter, entire neighborhoods are in ruins and the business district sags from the shattered economy. Thousands of people are homeless and squatting in vacant and storm-damaged properties, some just a few blocks from City Hall.” Returning to the French Quarter, I realized how suspended things seemed there, even amid the “happy mayhem.” New Orleans is a nocturnal city, and in the bright sunshine the carnival-like setting gave way to pressing heat and gridlocked traffic...

Silverglate titled his recent book on how colleges govern “The Shadow University: The Betrayal of Liberty on America’s Campuses,” or that he called the Ad Board “outrageous” at a recent dinner with students, and said...
