Bigots like Ahmadinejad do little harm??few American college students share his opinions, and he already lacks credibility in most people’s eyes. But firebrands like Horowitz who bring legitimate—if often overblown and rhetorically inappropriate—criticisms to bear against the academic left pose a much greater threat: to expose to more observers the shaky foundations upon which most postmodern prejudices are bulwarked...
