...seek out people who are like we are and in doing so make the world, which appears bigger and bigger every day, a bit more manageable. We’re able to find out that there are Yankee fans in Boston (and Red Sox fans in New York, lest I be mugged!) and that other people do enjoy “Who’s The Boss?” reruns...
...lacrosse team. To be sure, some degree of criticism is warranted, even needed. Half-million dollar book deals are not signed every day—by a seventeen-year-old, no less—and this type of success must necessarily be yoked to a high level of scrutiny, lest we cheapen true achievement.

Through their attacks on me, my colleagues during the meeting and after were warning others not to step out of line lest they invite the same contempt. Imagine the fate of any junior faculty member who might share my point of view on such issues as the importance of ROTC on campus, the pernicious effects of group preferences for women in hiring, or the dangers of anti-Semitism in its latest anti...
