"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

What would
“by force”
mean?


Today’s Washington Post describes a still very angry and unsettled post-Ladner American University. The good guys on the board of trustees are gone:

Students, faculty and some trustees speculated that those who left may have wanted to limit their liability -- the Internal Revenue Service can impose sanctions on nonprofit boards for overcompensation and other issues, federal agencies had been asking questions and senators were watching.


And now some people on and off campus want the entire remaining board, as a former trustee and a major donor puts it, "removed and replaced, either by resignation or by force."
