...dialogued with us about the miraculous power of His love. (Corinthians 2:14). Yet if we had had this conversation with the typical Harvard student, it probably would have devolved into some Zionist diatribe about Larry Summers being the best Harvard president ever, which we know is total hogwash...
...course, all of this is hogwash. Having attended Harvard as an undergraduate, and having taught here for six years, I can attest that the Faculty is in no way a festering cauldron of left-wing lunatics. Overall, its members are a diverse and impressive group of hard-working scholars, variously committed to teaching and public life, open-minded and broadly tolerant, but generally quite slow to voice their dissent on most matters.

"If you really think that there's equality, ask him to change his name." Alternatively, says Bonpasse, look at Hillary Rodham and Teresa Heinz, who adopted the names Clinton and Kerry only during their respective husbands' gubernatorial and presidential campaigns. If a wife who doesn't take her husband's name is a political liability, Bonpasse says, it's hard to believe the fight for gender...
