...unique to Harvard, but it is harder to tackle here on a campus where, formally at least, each sex has access to most of the same choices and opportunities as the other. Despite this “legal” equality, students find it too easy to swim along with the subtly sexist cultural flow—or judge it too hard to avoid. Although women don’t like the idea of lining up outside a final club, dignity drops down the list of priorities when there is nowhere else to go on a Saturday night. Likewise, while...

So long as it ensures genuinely equal standards for all, a liberal nation has no obligation to extend its liberalism to condone the most illiberal practices. State...
...Florida Republicans - whose leadership, including outgoing Governor Jeb Bush, has taken a sharp right turn in this decade - wrestled with nonetheless while Foley considered running for Senate (the party ultimately backed eventual winner Mel Martinez). The e-mail scandal simply would have made it more difficult for Foley to swim on that G.O.P. beach, and would have almost certainly made the next month of re-election campaigning horrific for him. (G.O.P. House Speaker Dennis Hastert today said Foley had done "the right thing" by resigning.) "When you look at how vicious political attack ads have become in this country...
