An academic scandal erupted in early March, and professor Norman Golb found himself at its center. As newspapers rapidly seized on the tale, a narrative emerged about Golb’s son Raphael, 49, who allegedly used false e-mail accounts to impersonate and undermine his father’s scholarly critics. Arrested in New York City, Raphael, with his family’s support, denies the charges. But the scandal overlays an already contentious debate about the Dead Sea Scrolls, adding another argument where many say the evidence disfavors Norman Golb.

Some context for Claire Ray’s performance at nationals last week: Had the third-year been a team unto herself, she would have finished 28th overall, tied with St. Thomas and Montclair State. She would have finished comfortably ahead of every UAA school, save for Wash U. And setting aside Wash U again, Ray would have had as many All-American finishes as the rest of the UAA combined.
