Ralph Nader's call to public service Thursday was inspiring. However, listeners should take note of a number of misrepresentations he made concerning electoral politics.
Nader's attacks on the integrity of the two major candidates are undermined by the massive election fraud undertaken by his campaign in an effort to place his name on the presidential ballot in Pennsylvania; the presiding judge in the Pennsylvania court with jurisdiction over elections declared it "the most deceitful and fraudulent exercise ever perpetrated upon this court." Nearly two-thirds of the names on his nominating petition were forged or otherwise invalid. Nader clearly has his own credibility shortage.

What is a Princeton degree really for?
Joel IbabaoSo what, in the end, is a Princeton degree really for? I take a more moderate view: Students should prioritize earning potential — unless they feel irresistibly called to something else.
