...minority groups in America. The tragic consequence of these baseless comparisons is that some Blacks, rather than refusing to be held up for comparison with other groups, attack the group to which they are being unfavorably compared. The attempt of certain Blacks to downplay the importance of the holocaust points up this tendency to deprecate the suffering of another minority...
...accord, drafted with U.S. help following the Nazi Holocaust, makes the mass murder of national, ethnic, racial or religious groups an international crime. Over the years, U.S. opponents of the treaty, most of them Senate conservatives, have said they had no quarrel with its sentiments but argued that the pact would permit foreigners to meddle in American domestic affairs.

When both factors are present, the potential for real intellectual fervor exists, insofar as it can ever exist in 1980s Harvard. That's why the Moral Reasoning 22 "Justice" paper, due from 800-plus erstwhile Core-hounds last Monday, merits close scrutiny...
