the Yale University Press, decided to publish a book about the Danish cartoons without the Danish cartoons.

According to a piece in The New York Times, John Donatich, the director of Yale University Press, said that the decision not to include the cartoons was "difficult."

Really? Why was it difficult? Mr. Donatich presides over part of an academic institution whose motto is "lux et veritas," "light and truth." His "difficult" decision announced to the world that his motto timiditas et deditio: "cowardice and surrender."
