The left has been mining the vein of accusations of racism to great effect. Recently, in the Pickering confirmation debacle, leftist groups conspired with members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to brand Judge Pickering a racist. Never mind that the only people in Mississippi who opposed Judge Pickering's nomination were the Ku Klux Klan and the NAACP.

As any reader of the entire article [below] will quickly see, my proposal is designed to save both Israeli and Palestinian lives. It suggests that Israel start by declaring a moratorium on reprisals, even in the face of continuing terrorism, which is now supported by 87 percent of the Palestinian population.

Recently, two events have surfaced in the news that should be deeply troubling to all of us. First, former drug czar and current conservative commentator William Bennett announced that, with the support of some of his hard-line neo-conservative benefactors, he would be creating the "Americans for Victory Over Terrorism" (AVOT), an organization whose goal is to "sustain and strengthen American public opinion as the war on terrorism moves forward.

Not only does this defamatory language smack of blatant anti-Semitism, but it is disturbingly irreverent of an event that is sacred to Christians all over the world.

I went to school in the sunny resort town of Provo, Utah. All right, so maybe it isn't a resort town, or that sunny. In fact, for those who know Provo, they know that the reason it isn't sunny, for several months during the year, is a mixture of the inversion layer and Geneva Steel.

I read with great interest about the possibility of Harvard Law School moving to a new campus and the appointment of a Law School committee to be included in these considerations.
