Re: Vanity Fair Article on DU - with an Ed Battle recommendation of Rokke!
I do not know if Vanity Fair is a "liberal" magazine.
It is certainly not a scientific journal by any
stretch of the imagination.
Yes, I do believe that someone needs to contact the
editor and author of the article. Maybe a second,
realistic article could be written, but at the least a
letter to the editor needs to be sent.
