...Iraq and Syria were still deemed "peace-loving." Moreover, through this process of UN moral inversion, Israel and South Africa could now "legitimately" be equated in the meetings of the Palestine National Coucil. Fourteen years later, Israel- South Africa "academic" forums appear at Harvard and earn the defense of Professor Sidney Verba. This disquieting and largely ignored process can only call into question our own commitment to the truth...
...patented animal, the transgenic mouse. We should make this our totem. It is relatively clean, easy to carry, and indisputably ours. I can already hear, reverberating in the stadium, a roar that strengthens the mettle of our troops and strikes fear in the heart of our opponents: Go, mice! Professor William Alonso

To begin with, Professor Blumenthal assumes that the decision "not to crowd the other one" is necessarily selfish. On the one hand, the decision "not to crowd" is an economic reality. The American dream of living better than our parents, or living as well as our parents, simply requires more effort today than it did. The dual-career family, which only became the norm with our parents' generation...
