Re Adam Horowitz's post earlier today, Jack Ross writes:
Daniel Pipes and Chuck Schumer were in the same class at Harvard, and no doubt because of said connection Schumer conspicuously stood up for Pipes when he was nominated to the U.S. Institute of Peace. I know this because my father was also Harvard '71 and knew them both, in fact knew Pipes especially well.
Yes. I believe Schumer was a bore on Israel back then too. I bet he was sociologically quite similar to "Peace" Pipes. As I always say here, Groton WASPs gave us Vietnam. Harvard Jews gave us Iraq.
Scene: an advanced German class at Harvard.
Professor: Mr. Saltonstall, I didn't know you knew Yiddish.
Saltonstall: Just enough to find my way around Harvard Yard.

Wow, Philip. That may be the shorthand of historians decades from now when they fnally have the clarity to analyze what happened in the United States at the turn of the century.
It's pretty crisp all right. Phil's on a roll.
