Yes, but they didn't, as is their editorial right. So, the plucky young
rebels at Brown decided to take matters into their own hands and stumbled,
predictably, pitifully, into Horowitz's trap. The same thing happened at
Dartmouth in the 80s, and it made martyrs of the Review's editors (stars as
well: D'Souza, Ingraham, et al.). I tell you, I've seen more moronic
political acts performed by Ivy Leaguers than by any other crop of students
and grads. Doug excepted, of course.
