As Cornell wins its first lacrosse title since 1977, I think of the MVP of that game, Eamon McEneaney, hero of the World Trade Center bombing evacuation of 1993, who died there on 9/11, whom I'm honored to say I covered and took courses with.

To Pete Hegseth, every allegation of sexual assault or harassment was an “anonymous smear,” even though his own mother corroborated them.
If he is SecDef, how can any victim of sexual assault possibly feel comfortable making a complaint with Hegseth in charge?
