Briefly Noted
In the sports section of the New York Times this past Tuesday, in a college basketball story:
“Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”
I gather from the story that the team St. John’s beat, Connecticut, was tired and poor. And so deserved to lose? Not exactly pro-immigrant (or pro-“immigrant”) in spirit. But it’s nice to see Emma Lazarus name-checked on the sports page!
