Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir draft (contextually Alan Dershowitz's) submitted to the House Oversight Committee. It recounts the author's experiences with and opposition to discriminatory practices (gender, racial, and religious segregation) at various social clubs and academic institutions, specifically detailing incidents at Harvard, in Ohio, and in Australia. It also touches on the academic culture at Harvard Law School regarding tenure and the concept of 'soundness' in legal views.
