The Yale motto is Lux et Veritas. In view of the decision of Yale University Press to remove the Muhammad cartoons from Brandeis University Professor Jytte Klausen's forthcoming bookon the cartoon controversy, Mark Steyn thinks Timiditas et Deditio would be more like it.

Among those taking note are Roger Kimball and Allahpundit. The New York Times reports, shall we say, sympathetically.

Jonathan Brent and Yale University Press have done great work in the YUP's Annals of Communism series. The YUP appears willing to confront the great evils of our era only in retrospect, when no courage of any kind is required.
