I don't have time to reply at length until after Nov. 6, but one thing
I'd like to point out is that Charlie Martin claims the (far) right isn't
unique in employing "dirty tricks" against minorities, not merely other
politicians, and proceeds to offer examples illustrating only political
crimes by those left-of-center against other politicians.  He seems
determined to downplay or even ignore the especially virulent methods of
the Dartmouth Review.

One more thing:  most (probably all) of these rags are "approved", certi-
fied, or whatever term you prefer, student publications.  Perhaps those
"SOBs" (Charlie's term) have an interest in free expression stronger even
than Charlie Martin's.  Why didn't the school administrations, student
bodies, aggrieved parties, etc. succeed in cutting their campus funding?
Oddly enough, every lawsuit or other legal action (eg, a request for
criminal prosecution for wiretap violations) initiated against the Review
has failed.  Dartmouth College couldn't even force the tabloid to relinquish
the word "Dartmouth" in its title.

Maybe the issues & how they can be dealt with are not so clear or easy
as Charlie's libertarian (small l or big L?) flailing would make them
appear to be?
