"This is not F.D.R.’s Model United Nations, that rigid simulation of
General Assembly protocol and decorum. Conferences like this one in
Philadelphia, hosted by the club at Penn, have turned MUN, as it’s
called, into a full-fledged sport, with all the competitiveness and
rowdiness that suggests. Today, there are official sponsors, a ranking
of schools and, much to the chagrin of traditionalists, non-U.N. role
play."
