It's surprising Holt could still get away with writing "Cornell girls are hideous" as late as 2004!
- NautilusWave 10y agoThat was as far as I got into the article....
- maverick_iceman 10y agoIt's true though.
- Vinnl 10y agoIt's surprising he got away with the term "webmasters".
- lmm 10y agoI think 2004-me would see a future in which it was politically impossible to write that kind of thing as a horrible dystopia.
- coldtea 10y agoOne could as well write it today. Assuming it's a free country and they do find them hideous or doing it for joking purposes (as the author does).
- zapu 10y agoI assumed there is some sort of rivalry between Stanford and Cornell - I'm not in US so I wouldn't know. But you would not see this kind of statement in a paper nowadays, that's for sure.
- wiredfool 10y agoCornell had of a rivalry with Harvard (who can't play hockey). Stanford really wasn't a concern, they're on the other coast. Though, this was from afew years after my time.
