...Peninsula editor read the article on page 13 and realize that Massachusetts doesn't have centralized economic planning? Is this some kind of hidden IQ test? Do McLaughlin and McDonald really think that the piece by Bridget L. Kerrigan '92 is on par with George Orwell? Do they really think that the anonymously published Gen Ed 105 paper is "cleverly written, funny and sardonic?" ("The semicolon is the common thread that casts a shadow over their efforts to pave the way for crossing a future bridge over non-racist waters...
