On Strict Interpretations

By David Velleman | November 14, 2003

To the Editor: In regard to the Nov. 13 letter to the editor " 'Reasonable?' Gun Control?" by Mr. Rouzer against the idea of gun control on the basis of the wording of the Second Amendment, I urge him to read the Constitution. Specifically, I would point him to the First Amendment, which states very clearly that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." etc.

On U.K. Schools

Lighten Up!

By David Wolkoff | November 12, 2003

To the Editor: I would like to respond to the recent condemnation of Keggy in the Nov. 10 letter "On 'Keggy.'" It seems to me that the majority of the student body loves Keggy (as is evident from them chanting his name every time he appears at an athletic event). Dartmouth is a college, not a corporation.

How to Win Iraq

By John McCain | November 11, 2003

Iraq is not Vietnam. There is no popular, anti-colonial insurgency in Iraq. Our opponents, who number only in the thousands in a country of 23 million, are despised by the vast majority of Iraqis.

Clearing a Few Misconceptions

By Adil Ahmad | November 11, 2003

To the editor: Although I reserve my personal opinion on the issue of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, I would like to bring to the attention of the readers the following points: First, the beginning clause of the Act reads: "a partial-birth abortion -- an abortion in which a physician delivers an unborn child's body until only the head remains inside the womb, punctures the back of the child's skull with a sharp instrument, and sucks the child's brains out before completing delivery of the dead infant" Second, Partial-Birth Abortion is, in scientific terms, known as "Intrauterine Cranial Decompression" or more commonly the "Dilation and Extraction (D&X)" procedure.

By James Wright | November 7, 2003
