Lomnitz settled into his role as a new anthropology and historical studies professor at the university and began filling the empty bookcases behind his desk.
The move is quite a change from his previous posts at the University of Chicago (where he taught for the last nine years), and, before that, New York University.
Lomnitz noted that New York is a great place to teach and study anthropology: He is pleased by the New School's location, in a cosmopolitan city, with the CUNY Graduate Center, Columbia, and New York University nearby, and Yale and Princeton relatively close as well.

 ABC News: AP Is Older Than Was Thought, Papers Show   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
NEW YORK Jan 31, 2006 (AP)— A collection of 19th-century documents newly acquired by The Associated Press shows that the world's largest newsgathering organization traces its origins to 1846, two years earlier than traditionally accepted by journalism historians and the AP itself.
The documents were provided to the AP's corporate archives by Brewster Yale Beach, a great-great-grandson of Moses Yale Beach, the second owner-publisher of the original New York Sun and the driving force in creating the alliance of newspapers sharing news dispatches that became known as The Associated Press.
Historically, the AP has dated its origins to a meeting of New York City publishers at the Sun office in May 1848.

A major lesson of the disengagement experience is that Israel should not be asked to test its institutions and the fabric of its society by a repeat of the experience and images of tearing Jews from their homes.
The West Bank, Judea, and Samaria, unlike Gaza, have political, religious, historical, security, and sentimental roots in the hearts, minds, and souls of Israel and the Jewish people that cannot be denied and must be respected.
Their claims are older and clearer and, to say the least, are at least as legitimate as the Arab ones.

 Dissent equals treason. - By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine
On Feb. 6, the New York Sun published an editorial equating dissent with treason.
Although the Sun grudgingly conceded that the protesters "probably do have a claim under the right to free speech," it went on to argue that anyone who marches against war with Iraq is providing "aid and comfort" to Saddam, and therefore committing treason as defined by Article III of the Constitution:
The more successful the protesters are in making their case in New York, the less chance they'll have the precious constitutional freedom to protest here the next time around.

From all of this, it would be interesting to publish a news article with the headline, "Kerry the first presidential candidate to have received a less than honorable discharge", with the goal inviting a libel suit from Kerry.
According to the NY Sun article, if I read it correctly, the documents in question are not part of Kerry's record at all.
