Wait a sec: The reason her obsessive, multi-year coverage of the so-called "campus culture wars" (hmm: "wars" on campus; "war" in the NYT) "always mattered" was that one day, years later, part of the NYT staff would be upset because @nytopinion chose to publish, ...
... from among thousands of submissions, an Op-Ed by the most belligerent member of the Senate--someone hardly lacking for fora--urging an "overwhelming" and (probably) unlawful use of military force in the midst of a public uprising to protest . . .
... police violence against African-Americans? An Op-Ed that had the audacity to invoke 1957 Little Rock as an analogy?
Boy, she sure was prescient.
