For Himmelfarb and many others at the [recent National Association of Scholars] meeting no recent event better summed up what defines the current crisis in academia than actress Goldie Hawn delivering the commencement address this year at American University in Washington (see "The College Cats Get Liberal Tongue," June 24). "Listen to the sounds of your own heart, the college of your own heart," Himmelfarb quoted Hawn as saying, then asked: "Is this not a thoroughly narcissistic statement?" Another participant in the conference later summed it up as a statement from "the university of me."From Insight Magazine (previously posted by aculeus but totally ignored by the FR dummies). :(
