...Cross throws in his December 13 commentary on the Semitic Museum dispute. I don't think that any reader of Martin Peretz's November 29 Guest Commentary, "Sabotage of the Semitic Museum," could have thought Peretz was suggesting that anti-Jewish views had anything to do with Professor Lawrence Stager's position on the Semitic Museum. Indeed, I would guess that most readers would have assumed, as I did, from Professor Stager's work and title, that he was Jewish. It was also clear from Peretz's article that the issue was whether the scope of the Museum...
...horrified that communications within the University are not private, that Professor Stager has received Harvard's tacit approval for intercepting others' communications. Reading the copies of faxes left in the machine is no different from reading the copies of communications in people's files. The State Department does not tolerate its staff reading other people's e-mail. Can Harvard condone and approved reading other people's faxes? Surely the perpetrator of such a violation of intellectual privacy should be punished rather than rewarded...

When I wrote to the Crimson late last month I actually had some vague impression--erroneous, it seems--that the Dorot Professor of the Archaeology of Israel is Jewish. Since the question...
...fair to Cross, a few of Stager's other friends have also imputed to me an imputation of anti-Semitism to him. The most interesting instance of these is Leon Levy, the Wall Street Financier who provides the funds for Stager's Ashkelon dig. Levy and I have known each other for some years, and we met by accident in the lobby of a London hotel only ten days ago. He upbraided me for what he called my "anti-Semitic insinuations about Stager." I was appalled, and told him that this was an invention (maybe his, maybe Stager's) which...
