Bravo. A typical Paul production, a delightful marriage of style and analysis. What's really depressing in this tale of woe is Gay's unanimous support from the governing board. You'd think there'd be a few voices in the wilderness. Jim Dueholm

Thanks, Jim. I'm glad you didn't take my wisecrack about Harvard men personally.

Not to worry Paul, my Dad said much worse than that. A farmer-legislator, he had a farmer's view of lawyers. When I was in law school he testified before a Wisconsin Assembly committee and made a comment critical of lawyers. "You're critical of lawyers," Mr. Dueholm, a committee staff attorney said, "but isn't it true you have a son attending Harvard Law School?" "That's true," Dad replied, "but my other [three] sons turned out all right," adding "we haven't told his mother yet; she thinks he's a bookie in Nevada." Jim Dueholm

I greatly admire and appreciate your willingness to articulate the undeniable truths of the academic moral rot.
