...theme of the unforgivable offense reverberates up and down the 20th century, perhaps because such a crime is thought to be more against man-or more accurately, more against the tribe-than against God. Harold R. Isaacs, a journalist and political scientist, observed in his 1975 book Idols of the Tribe: "We are experiencing on a massively universal scale a convulsive ingathering of people in their numberless grouping of kinds-tribal, racial, linguistic, religious, national.

...game of name recognition is becoming a major industry in every field.

Similarly, his tone piece of evidence is that an Israeli nuclear scientist visited Israel on the day following the explosion. Once again, no specifics about the nature of the visit. Such resort to innuendo and bold-faced assertions not only belies the weakness of his argument but is also downright sleazy. By Louis' logic, if a man visits a woman after...
There is a famous anecdote about the fast Harvard scientist in hold a trip administrative position--James B. Conant '14, president from 1933 to 1953--that some say illustrates the reluctance of some in the Harvard community to see scientists in high positions...
