First, The Crimson attempted to create controversy by implying that Ms. Clarke is a separatist. Of course, this attempt failed.

Those reporters who don'trecall last week's goddess-visit look at me inpity and anger. Their eyes ask me, Do you reallythink she'll answer a question like that?Why not be useful, and ask her to meowagain? Feeling a bit stigmatized by these people...
