(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Friday, April 11, 2003
This beat is well patrolled by Atrios and others, but as warblogger Glenn Reynolds found it "hard to believe" that genteel Yalies could behave like disgusting thugs, I feel obliged to pass along these lovely stories from that esteemed institution.
Raphael Soifer '04 said he was the victim of such harassment Wednesday evening when a man spit on him as he was walking out of the Davenport dining hall. Soifer had just finished participating in a silent vigil mourning the loss of Iraqi civilians killed during the current conflict.
"I'm a little scared, and I'm a little disappointed that [such intimidation] is going on at Yale," Soifer said. "It's ironic but distressing that the people in support of the war are working to stifle expression of others in the United States."
