Why is Dr. Carrie Rinker-Schaeffer, director of Urologic Research at
UChicago, feeding Darth Vader a triangular cookie? The 67th Annual
Latke-Hamantash Debate was held Tuesday in Mandel Hall. The three
contenders—Rinker-Schaeffer, Prof. Rachel Fulton Brown (medieval
history), and Prof. Harold Pollack (Social Service Administration)—used
their unique brands of expertise to defend either of the two traditional
Jewish foods in a debate moderated by Prof. Ted Cohen (philosophy).
