Although technically outvoted, the anti-Guinier faction should not be tyrannized by a mere majority. No, as Ms. Guinier once suggested, proportional representation is in order. If, for example, it is ascertained that 25% of the class objects to the present choice, 25% of the time alloted for the Class Day address should go to an alternate speaker who embodies their values.

Georgi Dimitrov?s body was cremated shortly after the collapse of communism in 1990, but following a fierce national debate, the present government decided to finish the job by destroying his mausoleum in downtown Sofia. So with the city center sealed off and tens of thousands of Bulgarians gathered to mark a symbolic occasion, government officials pressed the button detonating some 1,200 pounds of dynamite packed into the structure?s thick...
