...sheet offended you. We in no way intended the quotation to imply that all Arabs are Islamic. Similarly, the statement did not doubt Arab ability to run a democratic government, but rather called impossible a "Palestinian Liberation Organization 'democratic secular state.'" We apologize for the poor wording of the remark. Again, the purpose of these pamphlets is not to promote controversy or stifle debate, but to encourage meaningful intellectual discussion on the subject. In this respect the fact sheets are already showing signs of success, as attested to by the title of the Crimson article, "Pro-Israeli Posters Stir Debate...
...Julio Varela ever engaged in any physical activity more demanding than climbing into and out of his bunk bed? An otherwise informative article in the 11 February edition discussing the American chances for glory in the Calgary Olympics is tainted by "Reporter" Varela's remark about the biathalon.

...classrooms in search of heretics to denounce in public. I fervently hope my colleagues at this great bastion of academic freedom will not conclude from this incident that they should duck controversial issues to avoid being smeared in this fashion. Only a few days ago you reported a remark by a Tufts student who disrupted a speech by a Contra representative: "No free speech for Fascists."

...heat of an admittedly intense encounter. With Bush on the attack from the outset, and the clock ticking away on the live interview, Rather pressed hard, and legitimately, for answers. Although he appeared agitated, his questions were informed, coherent and to the point. Even his response to Bush's remark about the six-minute walkout was deft under pressure. "I think you'll agree," he said after a few seconds, "that your qualifications for President . . . ((are)) more important than what you just referred to." Only with his abrupt ending did Rather appear snappish and rude...
