...status at liberal Harvard. And, some have often gone so far as to claim that they have been marginalized due to their right-leaning beliefs. While it is admittedly possible that some conservatives have sometimes been mistreated at the hands of over-zealous lefties, there has hardly been an outbreak of violence against Republicans, nor has anyone sabotaged the presses of the Salient. The Faculty may be predominantly liberal, but Edmund Burke remains on the curriculum nonetheless.

...course, we are not so naive as to believe that this recent donation represents a sudden outbreak of altruism in the ranks of the Administration. The loans and grants may be seen as a public relations ploy. Harvard must deal with the local community whether it wishes to or not, and a hostile community--as has been the case lately--makes the job of the University all the more difficult.

Both sides keep a wary eye on the other's construction efforts, and a massive outbreak of violence followed an Israel decision to open a new access tunnel in September 1996. But despite Jewish objections, the Labor government of newly elected prime minister Ehud Barak could see the logic of adding additional exits and worshiping space in a mosque that draws tens of thousands of Muslims to prayer. More important, Barak deemed any attempt to stop the construction as likely to inflame tensions at a point when the city least needs them. The Temple Mount "is the most sensitive place...
