Since fellow Crimson editor and editor of The Harvard Salient Travis R. Kavulla ’06-’07 appeared on The Fox News Channel last week, I have frittered away my nights futilely trying to think of something controversial that would win me my minute of national fame. Thankfully, Peretz Professor of Yiddish Literature Ruth R. Wisse’s Wall Street Journal op-ed last Thursday sparked an epiphany that ended my search...

I expect that if one were to shout at the top of his lungs he would be overheard, but for the most part, organizations’ conversations will be confidential...
