14. If a woman were drinking at an AEI event (they tend to be lavish) & raped, would she have only herself to blame? We should ask AEI.

15. Should that be a sign at front of AEI? "Warning: If you are raped while drunk here, it is your own fault."

16. Someone should call up AEI and ask them what exactly their policy would be for handling rape after one of their lavish events.

17. Aside from AEI,the other institution that has deep ties to Charles Murray is The New Republic (sorry, I can't help it!)

19. As McConnell notes, Peretz-era TNR was ostensibly liberal magazine but served an important function as laundry operation for neo-cons.

20. Neo-cons like McConnell, Midge Decter, & Michael Ledeen had access to TNR through back-channel: Martin Peretz.

21. If neo-cons had article they wanted to impress on a national audience of Dems, they'd send it to Peretz, who'd foist it on magazine.

22. The neo-con back-channel that McConnell describes provides a crucial insight into the infamous Bell Curve issue of TNR.

23. In 1980s, Peretz's impulse to push neo-con ideas got blunted by editors, particularly Hertzberg.

24. But in Andrew Sullivan, Peretz finally found a compliant editor who shared basically conservative outlook.

25. For purposes of Murray and AEI, it wasn't sufficient that he publish just in Commentary or National Review.

26. Murray and his wealthy sponsors wanted him to be seen as a legitimate public intellectual with national reach -- i.e. published in TNR
