Journalist says objectors ‘grossly distorted’ quotes from his 9/11 book
Graduates of Dickinson College celebrated commencement Sunday without a speaker after the private institution rescinded its invitation to CNN host Michael Smerconish due to complaints from pro-Palestinian students, according to local news reports.
