...pernicious influence extends beyond the Federal government into our nation's cities. The largely rural NRA has stood against local governments' attempts to regulate guns within urban crime areas.

The possibility of alien abduction may be hard to fathom, but it is precisely in this extreme case that Harvard's commitment to freedom of thought needs to be staunchest...
