Donald Hall '51, whose book Remembering Poets was partly devoted to Eliot, called Ozick's article remarkable, not for any kind of revolutionary criticism but for its "gross, lengthy, un-New Yorkerish attack." By un-New Yorkerish, Hall says he means that the piece conflicts with the weekly magazine's policy of not doing any articles about authors except in book reviews...
...favor of the occupation as a human rights activist, but I have to tell you--there has never been a freer press in any part of the Arab world than the all-too un-free press that today exists in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. For the first time in Arab history there has been a relatively independent press, too censored by my standards, too censored by your standards, and most importantly--too censored by Israeli standards.

...ties is not the question of academic freedom, however compelling those theoretical arguments may be. The critical problem is that academic and media equations of Israel and the apartheid regime of South Africa, have become not only acceptable, but even quite fashionable.

The proponents of the Israel-South Africa analogy are not interested in condemning South Africa. They gear their statements, in the tradition of the 1975 UN resolution, toward the delegitimization of the Jewish state. Whether Harvard should allow such nonsensical lies to gain a hearing at the Divinity School seems trivial compared to the far more dangerous trend of equating Zionism as racism through the Israel-South Africa analogy. Let us not forget the wisdom...
Well, that's true. Tim Burke, wearing MacDonald's number 19 jersey, was stuffed by Letourneau on an un-Hobey-like breakaway. Weisbrod, sporting the number 11 worn by The Goal-scorer Ed Krayer, missed a golden opportunity for a two-tally evening on a point-blank rebound. And highly touted freshman Ted Drury swung and missed the puck on his first collegiate shot...
