• Las zonas libres de armas no disuaden a los delincuentes, sino que les ayudan al ofrecerles la garantía de que no se enfrentarán a ninguna resistencia armada. Pero sí disuaden a los que respetan la ley. Un miembro del profesorado con permiso de tenencia oculta que incumpla la prohibición de armas en el campus sería despedido y probablemente le resultaría imposible ser admitido en otro centro. Llevar un arma de fuego a una zona libre de armas puede tener graves consecuencias adversas para las personas que respetan la ley. Pero para alguien como el asesino de Virginia Tech, la amenaza de expulsión no es disuasoria en absoluto.

The generosity of earlier generations of donors made it possible for me to attend Princeton as a young student from Hong Kong, and I have always wanted to do all I could to assure that students in the future.. from the United States and around the world.. will have the same kinds of opportunities I had to learn from faculty members who are leaders in their fields at a university that remains second to none in its commitment to teaching.

• It is relatively unusual that a physical scientist is truly an atheist. Why is this true? Some point to the anthropic constraints, the remarkable fine tuning of the universe.
