...Students who violate the rules established by the faculty do face the possibility of action by the Ad Board,” Ellison writes in an e-mail. Harvard University Police Department spokesman Steven G. Catalano says that various civil, criminal, and College sanctions could be brought against an odious offender, but that the police are more concerned about safety than just busting kids. “Like all police forces, HUPD uses its professional judgment because each situation is unique,” Catalano writes in an e-mail. “When behavior puts people at risk...
Heinz Field (which has done nothing for Heinz, by the way), but the same team won four Super Bowls playing in the odious Three Rivers Stadium. The common denominator is the Rooney family, which has owned the Steelers for as long as the Bidwills have ruled the Cardinals. Over the past 40 years, though, the Rooneys have been far better managers than the Bidwills...
...Cross-cultural comparisons are odious, of course. The rioting French Muslims were largely poor, unemployed immigrants or the children of immigrants, familiar with anti-Arab stigma and no doubt aware that the number of fellow-believers in the French Assembly could be counted on one hand - with fingers left over. By contrast, the American Christians who responded "Christian first" are probably employed and ethnically unalienated (to put it politely).

Welfare reform, which combined a work requirement with significant financial incentives for the working poor, was the best example of how the philosophy might work. Unfortunately, Monica Lewinsky...
...Damascus ablaze, storming the European Union (EU) office in Gaza, boycotting Danish products or withdrawing their ambassadors, and desecrating the Danish flag. The cartoon, clearly offensive for its rendition of the prophet as a terrorist, further incensed Muslims, for whom any depiction of Mohammed is sacrilegious. Despite the odious nature of this and other similar cartoons, however, the response from the Middle East exemplifies its disrespect for such central values of democracy as free speech and press. The rage of many in the Muslim world over the printing and reprinting of these blasphemous cartoons threatens those very freedoms. Regardless...
