Courage
Columbia University President Lee Bollinger’s introduction of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It’s really quite tremendous. Bollinger was the president of U-M and I’m proud of him. Ten years ago, we met him at the Daily 110th anniversary party and had a very interesting talk about the affirmative action suits then pending against the U. He is a public intellectual of the type we could use more of.
I agree w/ you about Bollinger – his speech was brilliant and courageous. Why can’t the leaders of our government be people of his caliber?
