RUDY GIULIANI, Republican presidential candidate and former mayor of New York City, during the second G.O.P. presidential debate, responding to a comment by Representative Ron Paul of Texas, who appeared to suggest that the U.S. invited the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks by invading Iraq in the early...
...appalled that Kinsley would suggest that Jones should be rewarded for basing a career on a lie. We live in a time when people and animals die from poisons substituted for food and medicine, when buildings collapse because of shoddy construction and when American soldiers are being killed in a conflict initiated because of faulty intelligence.

Gays who felt insecure in small Southwestern and Southern towns like...
...might be one of the top two American players in tennis today, but—in keeping with general trends across the conference—racket sports such as tennis and squash currently have no African-Americans on their rosters. And, perhaps predictably, the Crimson’s totals suggest that for all sports whose surface of competition is any kind of water—meaning ice hockey, water polo, swimming and diving, sailing, skiing, and crew—less than 3 percent of those student-athletes are black...
