...when I read Weisskopf's account of losing his hand in Iraq. In coming to terms with his loss, he realized that he had actually won a prize: the rest of his life. But his story revealed that he won more than that. By summoning the courage to undergo painful introspection after his injury, Michael Weisskopf has reclaimed his soul and his spirit. I too suffered a loss, 15 years ago, when my young husband died of brain cancer. By addressing sometimes unendurable pain and grief, I won the same prize...

I cannot picture the scene of the accident, as Hui’s image has been and ought to be the antithesis and antidote against pain and suffering, not their victim.

...unacceptable within our community, to take away someone else's right to express their opinions and viewpoints." Bollinger issued a statement on Friday afternoon: Let me reaffirm: In a society committed to free speech, there will inevitably be times when speakers use words that anger, provoke, and even cause pain. Then, more than ever, we are called on to maintain our courage to confront bad words with better words. That is the hallmark of a university and of our democratic society. It is also one of our central safeguards against the impulses of intolerance that always threaten to engulf...
