...vital barometers of student opinion. The reality is that many administrative decisions here at Harvard are made with little to no input from those they will affect. Petitions reflect the feelings of many students and should be treated with more respect and consideration--and not with indifference tinged with scorn...
Perhaps the soul searching in the towns of Hazleton and Shenandoah is one of them. The man knows his vow of poverty, his itinerant ways and his Jesus robes have provoked some quiet scorn and loud questions. But he is determined to channel this curiosity into introspection. Even the name he gives is a question: "What's Your Name?" It is, he says, the question Moses asked God at the burning bush.

But as a former prosecutor, Toobin reserves his greatest scorn for Kenneth Starr, whom he portrays as unqualified, unprincipled, politically biased and lacking in common sense. Toobin's thesis is that the real vast conspiracy wasn't the right-wing one Hillary famously charged was behind the scandal, but a more subtle attempt by the legal system to circumvent the political process through an "after the fact election."
