Adding up Inaccuracies

By Kathy Paur | May 20, 2005

To the Editor: I am writing to correct a number of inaccuracies in an article published on May 16 about my talk sponsored by the Center for Women and Gender ("Paur questions stigmas, discusses Summers flap," May 16). The greatest idea that I hoped listeners would take away was the importance and usefulness of objectivity and careful evaluation of evidence, and thus I find these inaccuracies particularly disappointing. Contrary to the article's reporting, my claim is that Summers's speculation about intrinsic aptitude differences between the sexes has little basis in scientific evidence -- not that his assertions are contradicted by test score data.

Power of the Press

By Robert Butts | May 20, 2005

Journalism is a rather arrogant profession. Journalists love to think of themselves as public servants, defending the helpless masses from the schemes of government, corporate America, organized religion, the military, special interests or any other convenient institutional boogeyman that is handy at the moment. And there is nothing those servants of the public love more than taking a shot at a Republican administration they don't care for. And if they can scoop their rivals in the process -- perfect. Which is probably why Newsweek editors thought they'd struck gold a week ago, when the magazine published a short item claiming that, as part of their interrogation techniques, U.S.

Mid-East experts differ over Bush foreign policy

By Matthew Abbott | May 19, 2005

Four experts on affairs in the Middle East convened in Silsby Hall Wednesday afternoon for a panel discussion concerning American foreign policy in the Middle East. The panel included government professor Daryl Press, retired foreign service officer Dennis Goodman '60, Iraqi writer and Dartmouth Arabic instructor Sinan Antoon and Shelley Deane, a visiting assistant professor of government from Bowdoin College. Antoon, who delivered his remarks first, chastised the Bush administration's policies towards the Middle East, calling members of the administration "arrogant and unwilling or even incapable" of learning from prior mistakes. "One can no longer assume policymakers are interested in listening to critical voices," Antoon said. American foreign policy in the Middle East has been very shortsighted, according to Antoon.
