The Weekly Standard contends that this process involves "separate but unequal admissions tracks." They suggest that any minority student from the entire applicant pool deemed able to complete the program is offered admission--a radically different standard than that for the rest of the students.
The Weekly Standard bases a substantial portion of its argument on the question of separate funds for minorities, and the consequent unfairness of the fact that not everyone has the same opportunity to get funding for graduate school.

 American Conservative Union Foundation
The Weekly Standard is bold in stating and supporting its ideology.
The WS forthrightly informs its readers that George W. Bush is a "big spender," subheading a recent piece informing its readers that, "under Bush, the era of small government is over." Moreover, there is not much limited government conservatives can do about it.
We will have to wait and see whether the editors are so determined that they will create their own special, special forces unit to make up for the "parsimony" of the administration's commitment of American lives and fortunes to their goal of eternal peace and democracy in the Middle East.

Subsequent accounts of Hatfill's novel, however, their accuracy confirmed to The Weekly Standard by one man who has read the entire manuscript, suggest a plot centered around mad cow disease and bubonic plague, not anthrax, with no mention at all of pathogenic powders delivered by mail.
Still, there are the bloodhounds, one of whom is reported by Newsweek to have "excitedly bounded right up to Hatfill" on August 1, inspiring an FBI observer to exclaim, "Damn!" The dogs have since become a fixture of news features about the Hatfill case, invariably accorded the status of potentially incriminating physical evidence.
In fact, the FBI more or less admits straight out that it was unable to pursue its standard evidentiary protocols with the anthrax letters until after they'd been permanently altered by irradiation.

As a single cloud at sea can augur a typhoon, so can a short and superficially amiable piece by conservative intellectual godhead William Kristol in The Weekly Standard describe a coming right-wing line of attack against liberals that will thunder across the airwaves and op-ed pages for months, probably right up through November 2004.
Most of the year, Kristol and The Standard have gleefully egged on Republicans in their moral crusade.

 A Higher Standard
Some left-wingers probably don't read the Weekly Standard because they figure it's a Rupert Murdoch-owned, right-wing, warmongering magazine and, of course, they've got a point.
But now -- as the Washington-based mag prepares to celebrate its 10th anniversary -- it's worth noting that the Weekly Standard is a truly excellent right-wing warmongering magazine, no matter what your political persuasion might be.
The Weekly Standard was founded in September 1995 by William Kristol, the son of neoconservative intellectual Irving Kristol and a former aide to Dan Quayle when he was vice president.
