 Light & Truth -- Winston Smith?
Unlike most Forum posters, who generally (and understandably) do not sign their real names, “Winston Smith” calls himself after a well-known literary character; and the reason for his choice is obvious, since his constant theme is defiance of academic groupthink.
And in fact, if “Smith” turns out to be a professor, it would disappoint his followers, because his sallies, though anonymous and applaudable, do not have the calmness and patience that suit a teacher.
If he is in fact a graduate student—or worse, a professor—that will not be a happy day for “Winston Smith.” But for us Yale conservatives, who deal or have dealt with campus nonsense on a daily basis, it will be a great opportunity to hail a fellow laborer in the vineyard.
