From the Editor

An occasional nightmare: I am walking into a favorite bar when other regulars rush out past me, one saying: “I just can’t hear about that damned ‘Manchurian Candidates’ cover one more time.”

Well, sorry, but the story keeps growing. The letters page in this issue allows leading executives in the ethnic-grievance industry to have their say. But their campaign has already borne fruit. At Yale last week I was assaulted by a howling mob of honors students who pulled at my clothes, struck the odd blow (no cause for concern-not even my pride was hurt), waved placards, and shouted loudly a few inches from my face: “We demand respect.”
