...execution chills the reader to the point where the twisted investigation procedure seems pervertedly logical. For Martens, the system makes inexorable sense. Though unappealing to him, his colleague’s reasoning is simply a part of it: “Anyone who wants something else is Jewish. Otherwise why would he want something else?” In today’s world, this statement would seem insane, but in the universe of Kertész’s novel, it is just a matter of perspective.Only Kertész can take us through his characters’ tortuous...
...accommodating a religious interest need not come at the expense of the majority. Closing a facility to undergraduates whose tuition fees have paid for it can be polarizing, so the matter requires a cautious and nuanced approach. There are already several good models for accommodating religion on campus. For Jewish students on campus, kosher dining is available at Hillel.

Instead of seeking women who are impressed by them, Harvard men should try to find the ones who actually like them. And we should all leave Charles Martel...
...finally deliver a thoughtful speech about his faith and values, it took place little more than a week before the election. And because of staff concerns about abortion protesters, the Senator gave his faith talk not at a Catholic university in Ohio, as originally scheduled, but at a Jewish senior center in Florida, with little fanfare. Nine days later, Kerry lost the Catholic vote in Ohio by 44% to 55%. It was a six-point drop from Al Gore's showing among Catholics in that state four years earlier. Kerry lost Ohio by a margin of slightly more than...
