...hosted a counterterrorism career panel that included representatives from the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and two non-partisan security think tanks. Joining the panelists were two distinct groups of Harvard students: one genuinely interested in potential careers in counter-terrorism, and another group consisting of rude, self-proclaimed morally superior, intellectually indoctrinated protestors. Let me be perfectly clear, while a tasteful protest marched on outside the Science Center, I am referring to the disruptive protestors sitting at the event. The propagandists’ techniques of disruption varied: their base tactics ranged from coughing incessantly...

...worst thing about these students is not that they have things to say about the material. I’m all for other people talking in section; it takes the pressure off of me.

Hostility toward TFs is not uncommon, but I’d venture that it has never manifested itself so openly before. This is pure viciousness, barely reigned in and often resulting in two or three...

...watch The Shield before signing on? No! No, I was in for a rude and shocking awakening. They came east, made this terrific pitch and brought me DVDs of all the seasons since the pilot. So I thought, well...
