...about the dirty cop bust in Boston the other day, or the protests of Boston’s biotechnology conference being staged by radical groups. I could have even scrutinized Peter J. Gomes’ deliciously supercilious photograph—replete with puffed chest, disdainful scowl, and gleaming white pocket square—in the recent New York Times article, “Matters of Faith Find a New Prominence on Campus.” Although in light of the proposed, anti-bullying legislation being debated in the Massachusetts State House, perhaps it is wise that I learn to temper...
