BERKELEY, Calif. — Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Stephen Hawking on the Big Bang. Millions of students for civil rights and against the Vietnam War. They were provocative in their times, products of an ideal that holds universities as sacrosanct spaces for debate, innovation – and even revolution. But Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7 attack on […]

The anti-Israel protests roiling college campuses loom as an ill omen for President Biden’s bid for a second term, as far as Sen. Bernard Sanders is concerned.
