...though, to believe that the corrective is membership in the elite Harvard establishment Professor of Government Kilson serves. Remember, the establishment is one in which Kilson both encourages political discussion in the classroom and is pleased to be a fearless thought-policeman outside it, quashing debate with allegations of "neo-racism...
