...male-female ratio problem exists at Dartmouth [March 12], that's for sure, and most fraternity boys and sorority girls, myself included, like to go wild on the big Winter Carnival weekend, but you made it sound as though every male on campus is out to "score" and every Dartmouth female is obese, boring and uglier than sin. Not so. Dartmouth College has a lot more to offer than drunk men and homely women...

As for inaccuracy, "I think a lot of that was caused by my relative in accessibility ... I think that we've made some progress." Time was up; a strong accusation had been made but only softly documented. Was this −like Eisenhower's remark about the military-industrial complex −an unexpected, out-of-character...
