...can’t decide whether to call him Dallas, or Perkins, or Mr. Perkins. It probably has to do with the circumstances under which I met him. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a round straw hat that looked out of place in Au Bon Pain (or in Cambridge, for that matter). He said things that reminded me how little the policy debate team cared about publicity and how they occupied an entirely different sphere than other student organizations...

The e-mail and the student’s blog contain wild accusations, removed from reality. The source was not reliable, there was no corroborative evidence, and the allegations were harmful to an individual and to members of an academic department...
