...Apocalypse. In a matter of days, administrators and student leaders will start putting their heads together to try to plan a weekend that will be as exciting as ever, despite the new rules. The successful College-sponsored events of the recent past—think Yardfest—suggest that they might just pull it off. But this week, the news is all bad, and the administration has been forced into all-too-familiar damage control. Why University Hall didn’t just wait to announce the new rules until a comprehensive plan for the now-drier tailgate...

If he wants to make an "essentialist" argument against Islam-that is, to suggest that there may be something in it that is intrinsically more friendly to fanaticism-then he needs to do it in some way other than the seemingly casual, off-the-cuff route he has chosen...
