...their publication, citizens (and Harvard community members) must actually see the images rather than accept mere second-hand accounts of their supposed religious insensitivity. The Salient’s bold move threw these cartoons into the limelight, as any student who glanced at the issue’s back page was forced to confront the images of the Prophet. When any paper chooses to publish these cartoons—be it the Salient, or Jyllands-Posten, or any other newspaper—we support that right. The marketplace functions only with a free and uninhibited press and on the inviolable...

Gorton and Chuck Prochaska to consult...
...half the government's stock. The sense of lack of preparedness mounted with esoteric advice from Indian Council of Medical Research, which advised people to stick to Indian food as it is "always well-cooked." The Times of India even reprinted a recipe for chicken curry on its front page. Meanwhile a poultry industry body, the National Egg Coordination Committee, was denying there was any outbreak at all, claiming the birds died of Ranikhet disease...
