...Harvards anti-recruitment policy could possibly have any effect. Harvardians need to see how the outside world views us and understand why the House of Representatives passed a resolution to support Solomon 327-84. Thus, from the fever swamps surrounding Karl Roves dark laboratory I offer the esteemed Ned Neocon to fill in today as a guest writer...
...intelligence and frankly a warmth, which is always a nice thing to work with." Wolfowitz needs all the friends he can get. When he arrived at the Bank on June 1, many of the 8,000 staff members in its Washington headquarters were skeptical of the idea of a neocon boss straight out of the Pentagon.

In 2002 he helped save billions of dollars by combining the Navy and Marine Corps aviation programs, and he has been given politically sensitive duties, notably overseeing the Pentagon's review of detainee cases at Guantnamo Bay. Rumsfeld...
...controversy looking like a defender of academic freedom. Wiener suggests that The Crimson played a supporting role in this nefarious scheme by hyping up the allegations against Thernstrom. And according to Thernstrom, the plot paid dividends in 2002, when President Bush appointed the “neocon hero” Thernstrom to serve on the National Council on the Humanities...
