There and in various print outlets the Manhattan Institute scholar inveighs against anything and everything liberal. For instance, Mac Donald claims that racial profiling by law enforcement simply doesn't exist. She can't seem to say enough good things about the USA PATRIOT Act. And she only wishes the interrogation tactics at Guantanamo Bay had been <i>intensified</i>.<p> Much smarter than <a href="/people/761/000027680/">Michelle Malkin</a> and far saner than <a href="/people/474/000022408/">Ann Coulter</a>, Heather Mac Donald is precisely the kind of conservative apologist they only wish they could be.<p><b>Father:</b> (business consultant)<br><p> High School: <a href="/edu/678/000079441/">Harvard-Westlake School, North Hollywood, CA</a><br> University: <a href="/edu/480/000068276/">BA English,Yale University (1978)</a><br> University: <a href="/edu/214/000081968/">MA English, Cambridge University</a><br> Law School: <a href="/edu/468/000068264/">JD, Stanford University (1985)</a><br><p> <a href="/media/410/000048266/">The Weekly Standard</a> Columnist<br> <a href="/media/953/000047812/">The New York Daily News</a> Columnist<br> <a href="/media/952/000047811/">The New York Post</a> Columnist<br> <a href="/org/171/000052015/">Center of the American Experiment</a> Board of Advisors<br> <a href="/org/064/000123692/">Family Security Matters</a> Board of Advisors<br> <a href="/org/493/000049346/">Hoover Institution</a> Media Fellow (2002)<br> <a href="/org/658/000051505/">Manhattan Institute for Policy Research</a> Senior Fellow<br><p> <b>Author of books:</b><br> <i>Are Cops Racist?</i> (<tt>2003</tt>, Ivan R.
