Excerpt:

DAY TWO AND COUNTING:

So, I scanned my hard copy of the New York Times today and did not find any further or in-depth coverage of the swastika incident at Columbia. Perhaps they plan a huge weekend feature. I have my magnifying glass at the ready.

NEWSFLASH! A CORRECTION.
I have just been told that the New York Times described this incident in their online edition today–not at length, not in any depth, but the swastika has definitely made it onto their radar screen. My informant happens to be my son–and therefore we both agreed that it would be safer and wiser if he sent it to me for a final, maternal inspection. What can I say? I am relieved, my faith redeemed, etc. I look forward to their in-depth hardcopy coverage of the many ways in which Israel and Jews have been demonized on American college campuses.
END CORRECTION

Just when I think I've seen it all–there is always more to see.
