The current standoff over our downed EP-3E Aries II electronic surveillance plane and its 24 crewmen requires that we seriously rethink the U.S.
'Prince' presents no proof against HorowitzI have read Horowitz's ad (elsewhere, previously) and found it well thought-out.You characterize his ad as racist in your spineless "apology" for running his ad ? yet without presenting one scintilla of proof for doing so.
Strange things have been happening at Yale, and the man responsible goes by the mysterious moniker "Dave." Just "Dave."For over a week now, all across their post-industrial wonderland of a Connecticut campus, Yalies have been seeing posters with baffling Dave-related slogans.
Horowitz is absurd to claim that Jews and Christians should not receive their dueAs a Jew, I read David Horowitz's letter to the editor in yesterday's 'Prince' with horror and charoset.
Quick question: you believe in freedom of expression, right? Yeah, that's what I thought. You do.You are, of course, committed to liberal democratic ideals ? liberal in the classical sense of the word, naturally.

Although the Workers' Rights Organizing Committee has built up a formidable group of supporters since its formation last November ? hundreds of students and workers, over 90 faculty members, religious leaders, local politicians and alumni ? it has so far forced only one change in University policy.
Prince' has no right to designate Horowitz as a racistI read with interest your "To Our Readers" opinion referencing the publication of David Horowitz's controversial ad in Wednesday's 'Prince,' and was ready to commend you for your stance on free speech, so readily abdicated by the editorial boards of campus newspapers at prominent universities.However, I must take issue with your thoughtless appraisal of Mr. Horowitz as a racist (to be exact, your statement that the 'Prince' will not "profit from Mr. Horowitz's racism."). This is a serious charge you have chosen to make, and you have done so at great peril to your credibility unless you are able to demonstrate that either the ad or Mr. Horowitz is racist.I have read the ad, and while I agree that it is controversial, confrontational in tone and cannot possibly "tell the complete story" (who could purport to do so in 1,200 words?), I do not believe it to be racist.

Race relations, poverty, current events ? there is always some dialogue on campus pitting two (or more) opposing sides against each other in order to flesh out the intricacies of a certain topic or subject matter.
Animals deserve human love, not inhuman lustLaura Vanderkam '01 shrewdly contends in her March 8 column that Princeton professor Peter Singer is not simply moonlighting in bestiality to supplement his philosophic day job.
David Horowitz's advertisement, "Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery is a Bad Idea ? and Racist Too," is an offensive piece of work.
A few weeks ago, I claimed that cloning was small moral peanuts in comparison to our neglectful treatment of nonhuman organisms and future generations in environmental issues such as global climate change ("Created in Our Image," March 6). My position should not be mistaken for one that condones cloning humans.
Musicians should express themselves without considering their listeners' tastesI am writing to you to express a few thoughts on the March 28 column "On Musical ? and Audience ?Appreciation," in which Nathan Arrington '02 criticized the Philadelphia Orchestra's concert program for its inclusion of the Fourth Symphony by Michael Tippett.
The alcohol ordinance that was sent to the Princeton Borough Council last Friday will likely do very little to end underage drinking at Princeton.
For the Supremely Motivated Self-Starting Student, the senior thesis is an opportunity to shine ? a chance to show the world what comes of four years of training at Princeton University, a chance to contribute to the academic body of knowledge, a chance to learn something about life.For me, it has been an intimidating and lethal obstacle that has shown me how to empathize with Dubya.I have to say, this is a slightly uncomfortable feeling for me, as I'm not especially a fan of Dubya.
