...Langsam has every right to feel frustrated if her political views are being mocked, diminished, marginalized or ignored. But to state that Republicans are "the one unprotected minority group at Harvard" is preposterous.

...remarkably well-choreographed departure, made more astonishing by the rich trail of video and Internet information the victims left behind.

He also examines the recent archaeological finds that revved the debate. Detouring occasionally (describing, for instance, a DNA study of the goats whose parched skins were used for the Dead Sea Scrolls), he picks and chooses among the available theories to arrive at a kind of aggregate anti-Gospel...
