...Podolsky may or may not have known, I too am Jewish and sang in the Jewish a cappella group Mizmor Shir. It is thus with a more personal touch that I find his parallel to be misinformed and unhelpful. Yiddish is undoubtedly recognized as an official language, spoken primarily by Jews for centuries. To assert that Ebonics is as widely accepted as an official language among African-Americans is a leap that one should be wary to make, regardless of what Vaux has to say in defense of its validity. The debate over Ebonics remains decidedly that?...
...racist. Throughout, he has defended his egalitarian values, especially with regards to race. What I was concerned about was an apparent lack of recognition on his part, to why making such a stark connection is in some ways unhelpful, dangerous even. To see no problem with the parallel is exactly the problem I wanted to bring to light. The color of one’s skin cannot continue to be grounds for assumptions about the languages they speak, understand or relate to.

...colony." Lee Bollinger, president of Columbia University, chose the Harlem venue and is equally rhapsodic about its suitability. "It's a natural place for this adventure.

The women had never met before, but over breakfast they compared stories and marveled at the similarities: their motivations for exposing the flaws of their institutions, their shock at having their secret actions exposed and then condemned in some quarters, and their enduring love for the ideals of their workplaces. They also discovered they shared much in their personal lives, and they enjoyed cheering...
...stooped, his speech measured and monotonous, he comes across as someone who would shun risks. And yet there are stories. There is Cheney the teenager in Wyoming, attaching a rope to the hood of a car and taking turns with his friends water skiing down irrigation canals that ran parallel to roads outside Casper. There is Congressman Cheney in 1983, five years after his first heart attack and a year before his second, catapulting down a treacherous ski slope in Jackson Hole, Wyo., his red scarf flapping in the breeze behind him, as his fellow skiers watched in stunned admiration...
