This situation is now as old as anything

[sovay]

I am behind on posting about politics, NecronomiCon, and movies, I am exhausted and I have to catch a bus for a doctor's appointment right now, but Brandeis University has had to close its campus because of bomb threats and I am not happy. That is my non-sectarian, quota-busting, Jewish-sponsored alma mater, with a school calendar that shifts each year to the Jewish holidays and Hebrew on its university seal. In this political climate, I have a hard time thinking it's a coincidental crank call. Please explain to me again why it won't work if I inscribe אמת on the forehead of the nine-foot bronze statue of Justice Louis D. Brandeis and ask it to lay down some old-school crusading social justice on this country.

[edit] The campus has reopened, but I'm not sure I shouldn't still do it anyway.

I don't remember! I was just now searching pictures of the building (the Holyoke War Memorial Building), but the pictures I find only show the front of it, and the quote was on the side.

Next time I'm in Holyoke, I'll look.

Those are great photos--I like the one with the canoe and with the kids in the corn.

I'm fond of the one of him by the window, where he looks incredibly young despite being older than I am now.
