Subsequently, for the sin of permitting free speech, the editors donned sackcloth. When Horowitz spoke on campus, protesters tried to shout him down. At Brown University, students stole and destroyed copies of the newspaper carrying the ad. I'd be a little surprised if so. I don't detect the same level of ideological passion as marred the rotten old '60s.
Free speech is supposed to be our national passion.
I don't see it. The Senate debates a bill to stifle free political speech through federal control of campaign finance, and respectable organs of opinion nod in agreement. The article excited waves of outrage on the part of students who missed, or didn't like, the writer's point. And, yes, the editors apologized. Well, within bounds we can.
