If we had intelligently examined the reasons for fascism in the 1930s or communism during the cold war, perhaps we would have been better able to understand and deal with them.

When the Department of Defense, brandishing the Solomon Amendment, threatened to withhold federal grants unless Harvard Law School allowed military recruiters on campus, the University capitulated and gave the recruiters an exemption from the non-discrimination clause. It should not do so again. If the Senate approves the bill...
