...opening paragraph of his article, Nordhaus insinuates that PBHA is full of uncontrolled college students that need the constant supervision of University officials to prevent them from wreaking havoc on the Greater Boston area. In fact, PBHA has over 30 responsibly run committees, each independently operated, that range from World Teach, which places individual from all over the world in Kenya to teach school children, to committees which shelter the homeless.

Such people can have whatever political opinion they want: I do not regard these opinions as science, merely political opinions and their implementations. Note how the word "modernization" occurs in a paragraph like the above, as well as on the page with the famous "equations" and the "correlation of .50." Thus Huntington gives the illusion of setting a scientific stage for his statements, but only the illusion.
