...encourage the Faculty to stop wasting the time of both its own members and of the students it governs, and to move forward on projects that actually matter. The debate over Professor Matory’s free speech motion is by its very nature suffused with bad feelings and suspicion of ulterior motives on both sides, and has brought out the worst in both its supporters and detractors. It is likely a good thing that most of the country has not found out that the Faculty spent two hours bickering over whether Harvard ought to explicitly support free speech...

Unfortunately, the E.U. and the Kyoto CO2 trading systems effectively exclude forest carbon offsets because regulators and politicians became captives of the anticapitalist NGO community and their own native suspicion of free markets.

Despite this evidence, suspicion lingered that there was something incongruous about an experienced kayaker drowning on a day when the sea was, in the words of one member of the rescue effort, "smooth as a millpond." Even before it emerged that the Darwins had reunited in Panama, his aunt, Margaret Burns, 80, told...
