		<title>WWII COs &#8212; My Heroes (and friends) in the fight for true peace.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at the annual PYM Peace Picnic recently and spoke with two WWII veterans (Neil Hartman &#38; Warren Sawyer) – pacifist COs in medical experiments intentionally infected with hepatitis by injection or by drinking fecal water. My friend Russ Tuttle wore lice underwear in typhus tests. These are my heroes…they saved many lives. Incidentally, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Roots of White Anxiety (NYTimes 7/18/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article helps explain some of my issues with what has become of Affirmative Action. ML King and Bayard Rustin had it right when they said poverty was a “people” problem, not a “black” problem. Expensive tuition is the price wealth pays to maintain its privilege of prestigious private education. Better that this be done [...]]]></description>

		<title>A truth about Kagen &#8212; Supreme Court Nominee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Glen Beck declares that Harvard banned military recruiters from campus when Kagen was Dean of Harvard Law School. Not so. Harvard’s Office of Career Counseling followed a policy, fully in accord with U.S. law, of not scheduling any recruiters who discriminated, and the military met the definition of a discriminating entity. In fact the military [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Many Graduates Does It Take to Be No. 1?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An article in the NYTimes today (6/27/10) reports that many high schools have given up on trying to determine who is the class valedictorian and simple give that designation to every student in the class who has a 4.0 GPA or the equivalent, resulting in many valedictorians every year. Each of them can honestly claim [...]]]></description>

		<title>Supreme Court says counseling Peace to terrorist groups aids terrorism.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The NYTimes today reported on the Supreme Court’s decision that advising about peaceful or humane alternatives with groups that the State Department has designated as terrorist is the equivalent of  aiding and abetting the enemy. I guess the U.S. follows the “shoot first, talk later” approach – oops, we can’t be doing that, that’s terrorist. So what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are incompetent folks too incompetent to know it, or do we teach them false self-esteem?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This NYTimes article presents research that attempts to establish that incompetent people are too incompetent to realize their incompetence. The authors note that those grammatically challenged actually believe that they are good writers. Sometimes overall incompetence may be the answer, but there is another possible explanation for why incompetent writers think that they are doing so [...]]]></description>

		<title>A 50th High School Reunion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fifty years ago I graduated from Mount Hermon, a preparatory boarding school in the middle of nowhere in northwestern MA. They have since combined with their sister school across the Connecticut River, Northfield School, to form Northfield Mount Hermon. The schools were founded for bright kids of limited means – this is not the place [...]]]></description>

		<title>Costs or Benefits of the Technology Age? (NYTimes Comment)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article illustrates an extreme example of technology ruling our lives, but many of us experience the conflict between technology and “real” (human) interaction. The almost-continuous use of electronic devices has become a significant problem for some of my students. When I get up in the morning, I walk into our home office to give my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blumenthal&#8217;s dubious &#8220;Vietnam Service&#8221; political campaign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I posted the following Comment in the NYTimes in response to the Senate candidate&#8217;s misleading  speeches (&#8220;lies&#8221; may be too strong a word for it) http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/19/nyregion/19veterans.html regarding service in Vietnam:
What bothers me even more than his inferences of having served in Vietnam is that Blumenthal&#8217;s Vietnam campaign strategy works directly against the nation’s welfare today, as he tries to generate anger over Vietnam  so [...]]]></description>
