Harvard already has nine men’s centers: the Porcellian, the Fly, the Spee, the AD, the Phoenix, the Fox, the Owl and the Delphic. The hundreds of universities with Women’s Centers, including all the other Ivies, have firm non-discrimination policies. There is no contradiction...
...very real cultural phenomenon at Harvard: the monolithic way in which students in the liberal tree house often view conservatives. That is, all too frequently Harvard students forget that conservatives are actually people, not faceless supporters of the “vast right wing conspiracy,” nefarious Fox News contributors or simply bigots...
Murdoch's critics are certainly legion. Most of them are fixated, in this election year, on Fox News and its conservative agenda.

He's been jeered, doused with a glass of water on camera and even menaced by an Idol reject with a baseball bat. Yet week after week, the audiences that hiss...
