...Harvard prides itself on its diversity—economic, racial, social, geographical—but it remains intellectually segregated. It’s not what conservative commentators seem to imagine—a bastion of liberal professors force-feeding radical opinions to a na??ve student body. It’s simply that the tacit assumption, in the classroom as well as outside it, is that everyone is liberal. Why is this? Perhaps because Harvard is located in the People’s Republic of Cambridge in the heart of blue Massachusetts: the sort of community whose Oktoberfest parade...
...slowing that sweep, a few media outlets do resist encouraging the churning of the rumor mill.

Traub clearly believes that it is important for democracy to spread; it is a matter of methods rather than philosophy that places him against Bush. According to Traub, the strain that Bush was put under...
Like many, I find so much of that certain kind of folk—songs of unrealized or unrealizable ideas, only appreciated by the sexagenarians who penned them and the sophomore liberal art students longing for their own Old World Underground—so beguilingly and simultaneously na??ve, distant, square, and off-putting...
