"I think most parents have very little idea what their kids are instant-messaging about. It takes a lot of energy to enforce rules, and parents are very busy."
-- Professor of psychiatry Dr. Robert King, "Police Ask Parents to Hover When Their Children Log On," The New York Times, May 26, 2002.
§
"We've made it impossible for a long time for someone to say, 'I did this wrong thing, but I'm a different person now.' We have no concept of sin, only of wrong."
-- William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law Stephen L. Carter, "An Academic Ready to Take the Plunge Into Novelistic Success," The New York Times, May 27, 2002.
§
"My feeling is that we need an approach that is fair to everybody -- that allows the larger society to get off its unproductive guilt-and-defense response and that allows African Americans not to feel victimized, while at the same time making it possible to address the problem that was created by the conditions of slavery. The problem manifests itself in underachievement and underpreparation in all the things that require high levels of development, and overrepresentation in such things as criminal activity and dependency. This is largely the aftermath of slavery, the failure of African Americans to have access to the same political and economic situation as everybody else when everybody else had it."
-- Maurice Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry James P. Comer, "Optional Reparations," washingtonpost.com, May 28, 2002.

"[America's Founding Fathers] spent a lot of time worrying about posterity -- they were aiming to do something amazing, and they were trying to transcend their own time."

"With the possible exception of the I.R.S., the Immigration and Naturalization Service is the least popular agency in the federal government."
-- Professor of law Peter H. Schuck in his article "Reform That Leads to Chaos," The New York Times, May 23, 2002.
§
"Perhaps ["The Taming of the Shrew" has] always been a play about men and how men see women and how they think women see them. So it isn't about women's weaknesses -- there's nothing funny about that -- but about the weakness of men, and that can be quite funny."
-- Artistic director of the Yale Repertory Theatre James Bundy about the all-male production of the Shakespearean play being staged at the Yale Rep's next season, "James Bundy's First Season at the Yale Repertory," Playbill, May 31, 2002.
§
"The unromantic version is [the boom in pregnancies in New York City since Sept. 11] is not uncommon when you have power outages or blizzards; people's daily routines are disrupted and they are spending more time at home."
-- Professor of psychiatry and epidemiology & public health Robert Rosenheck, "City's Expecting: Love Blooms in Face of Tragedy," Daily News (New York), May 22, 2002.

"Managers produce the numbers, and shareholders have a right to depend on their elected boards to hold managers accountable for those numbers. This means the board must monitor management; understand, not just sign, the annual report and have zero tolerance for misleading disclosure; and be clear that it expects and demands principled disclosure, not pushing the envelope."
-- Eugene F. Williams Jr. Visiting Professor in Competitive Enterprise and Strategy at the Yale School of Management Ira M. Millstein in his letter to the editor "A Board's Good Faith," The New York Times, May 19, 2002.
§
"I think the issue is often presented in reverse of what the true argument is. It's not so much whether we want the dollar to be stronger or weaker, it's whether the fundamentals in the U.S. economy, relative to other countries, warrant a stronger dollar. I don't know that there's that much that we could actually do about weakening the dollar apart from a total redirection of U.S. monetary policy."
-- Adjunct professor at the Yale School of Management David De Rosa, "Tough Call: Is A Strong Dollar Good Or Bad For The U.S. Economy?" "Market Call," CNNfn, May 23, 2002.
§
"There is a kind of famine of warm interpersonal relations, of easy-to-reach neighbors, of encircling, inclusive memberships, and of solid family life."
-- Professor Emeritus of the Institute of Social & Policy Studies and of Political Science Robert E. Lane, "Focus: Age of Discontent: Life's Good. Why Do We Feel Bad?: We've Tried Shopping And New Age Cures, Making Money And Spending It. What's Missing From Our Lives, Asks Richard Reeves," The Observer, May 19, 2002.

"The hatred of Israel is a part of a revolutionary ideology that has set itself against the Arab governments. In order to protect themselves, the governments had to take on this part of the Islamist program and even to fan its flames."
-- Visiting lecturer in international affairs Charles Hill, "An Old Hatred's New Day: Does a Wave of Anti-Jewish Attacks Around the World Mean Antisemitism is on the Rise?" U.S. News & World Report, May 20, 2002.
§
"Fortunately, as the human population grows, so does understanding of our influence over the rest of the living world. Unfortunately, turning the Earth into a 'garden' for 10 billion people is not likely to satisfy anyone's notion of successful environmental conservation."
-- Assistant professor of ecology & evolutionary biology David Skelly in his letter to the editor "1491," The Atlantic Monthly, June 2002.
