Bwog correspondent Addison Anderson was there.  I couldn’t stay for the whole thing, but Dean Quigley read an (the best) excerpt from Dylan Thomas’s “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” for about fifteen minutes to a rapt audience, and repeatedly told us to keep an eye out for friendly ghosts of Columbia’s past.  Then some administrators […]

Many a controversial forum went down last night… …the Iranian ambassador pissed off some students… …the Department of Education pissed off some parents… …and JTS just sort of gratified people by saying gays can become rabbis. …but PrezBo shall remain our bedrock.
