...latter group is gaining ground at Harvard—former University President Lawrence H. Summers said in a speech two years ago that the number of evangelical students at Harvard had doubled in the past decade...
...many years to come, Gore Vidal, an equally dazzling writer and social critic. Watching their strangely genteel 1968 scuffle on YouTube, we are reminded of the sorry spectacle that intellectual life has become today, polluted by such loutish mediocrities as Christopher Hitchens and Ann Coulter.

Kotb also counsels patients on questions of masturbation and homosexuality (although she treats the latter as an "unnatural" impulse to be "treated"), but refuses to take on any cases involving sexual relations outside of marriage. "This is a solid part of my practice." When she started her practice, her patients were almost exclusively women from Cairo's social elite. Today, her clinic is visited...
