However, none have been as brash and irresponsible as the angry piece of prose doled out to Crimson readers by Justin Danilewitz and Eric Nelson ("Embracing a Murderer," signed piece...
Danilewitz and Nelson recount at length Arafat's history of terrorism and berate Harvard for, in their extravagant parlance, wining and dining a monster.

Her seriousness has also been questioned on account of her past association with California cult leader John-Roger...
