The Brown Alumni Magazine has a front-page
feature on Steven
Emerson, who has for many years now been one of the more outspoken voices
proclaiming that we face a grave danger from Islamic terrorists. (Why? I hear
you ask. Well, he’s a Brown Alum, he’s in the news, he does good interview, and
I suppose we can’t put Chris Berman on the cover of every alumni magazine.) Emerson
doesn’t come off too well in this story about the firing
of Professor Al-Arian from Salon. Considering the source, you might not
think that it’s necessarily fair to Emerson, so the puff-piece from Brown might
serves as a kind of balance.
