...Mowery said of the enterprise. Souther and Mowery designed the t-shirt as a tribute to the University president at the time of the first Faculty no-confidence vote this past March. The two entrepreneurs decided to base their design on the famous red and black poster of Guevara—seemingly equating the pro-free-market Summers with the Cuban communist revolutionary. “We view Larry Summers as a revolutionary in his own right,” Mowery said. “He wanted to revolutionize the way campus operates and the way a Harvard education operates...
Last Saturday night, Edward E. Keenan ’06 was outraged. As partygoers primped and pregamed for an evening of officially-sanctioned debauchery in Winthrop House, Keenan was making some last-minute preparations of his own. Using some poster board and markers bought in a last-minute trip to CVS, he made a sign that read “’Debauchery’ Doesn’t Belong on Our Campus / Dems for Common Values.” He then positioned himself across the street from the entrance to the Winthrop House Committee (HoCo)-sponsored party...

Ironic, because the more important and less understood object of study is not American extremism but Islamic extremism, and because we live in a post-colonial age when independence has supposedly brought free agency...
...protects Islam hasn't been tested. To many Muslims in Europe, that's a particular rub. Laws touted as evenhanded appear to tilt in favor of the home team. Dutch film director Theo van Gogh, before he was murdered by a radical Islamist in Amsterdam, was a poster boy for unconditional free speech. He said Muslims had sex with goats and that a Jewish writer with whom he disagreed had erotic dreams about Nazi death-camp doctor Josef Mengele. He was never convicted under the Netherlands' statute banning "scornful blasphemy." The Justice Minister proposed reviving the law in the wake...
