Crimson Chose Well
I read with awe how The Crimson
handled the request by David Horowitz to run his reparations advertisement.
Readers will recall that Horowitz submitted the ad; The Crimson turned down the ad but suggested Horowitz re-do the piece as an op-ed and submit it in that form, whereupon The Crimson would consider accepting it under its normal op-ed standards. Horowitz refused, writing that since "your editors have censored my ad, why would I have any reason to believe that they would accept anything I wrote on this subject for publication."
In that very same article, however, you ran a photograph of the full text of the ad as an illustration to the story. In so doing, you made clear that you were not afraid to publish his views and were sincere in objecting only to the form of its presentation. After all, in the end, you published his entire text, and did so for free!
