Harvard Students for Israel President Dana A. Stern ’09 criticized Walt and Mearsheimer’s first paper in an interview, saying that it “contains numerous factual errors and omissions.” She added that the professors’ approach to the Middle East, which she characterized as “blaming a large Jewish conspiracy for America’s policies towards Israel,” only hinders “productive dialogue and progress towards peace...
...Republican Presidential politics is often exaggerated, however. The first choice of the Christian-right leadership rarely ends up being the party's nominee. And even in some of the most conservative states, the power of social issues may be on the ebb. Voters in South Dakota rejected a stern antiabortion law in November.

We also learned from the great leaders all around us, who face tough choices and make the right decisions. Look at NBA Commissioner David Stern, implementing a strict, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Then there’s Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, pushing to legalize polygamy in the commonwealth. Or even our own Dean Gross electing to give Peter “just one more chance...
