Acknowledging that our own coming of age was shaped by the Viet Nam War and the frenetic, at times violent political activism that it engendered, we are perhaps more sensitive than later classes to the need for the College to be a center of debate over the moral issues of the time and a home for views contrary to those of established forces, particularly those of governments. To cite the opening line of Bismarck’s famous quip, “whoever is not a Socialist at age 20 has no heart...
...have little control over how children use their lunch money at school. When given freedom of choice, few children can be relied upon to make well-informed decisions that prioritize their long-term health.

(And he has developed some expertise at them: he has been elected three times and beat back a recall referendum in 2004.) But despite Chvez's claims that he's forging "a more genuine democracy" that finally enfranchises the nation's majority poor, Venezuela hardly looks poised to become a showcase for the separation of powers. The National Assembly and Supreme Court are Chvez's virtual rubber stamps; and, while free speech...
