The Kurtz article was posted to FR three times - twice by me - and all three times the thread was pulled for unspecified reasons. In my own postings, I emphasized the Dept. of HHS angle, which - in my opinion - is more egregious than Wade's immature verbal assault. Essentially, what we have in this inciden is a government sponsored academic lynching. Wade is professionally embarrassed and - hopefully - ruined for obtaining tenure. But the government left wing apparatchiks who orchestrated the silencing of a conservative voice of reason will go on as if the incident never happened.
