"I had good grounds for thinking there was no real danger in publishing the cartoons," writes Jytte Klausen, author of The Cartoons That Shook the World, in a commentary in the Yale Alumni Magazine. The magazine also asked people including Fareed Zakaria, ofNewsweek, Cary Nelson, president of the American Association of University Professors, and John Donatich, director of the Yale University Press, to share their thoughts about the press's hotly debated decision not to publish a Danish newspaper's cartoons and other images of the Prophet Muhammad in Ms. Klausen's book.
