When I was at Yale, back when ice covered the Earth (in the early 60s), we did have come professors who were as off the wall as this lady. However, I guar-on-damn-tee that drivel such as hers never appeared in the pages of the Yale Daily News. I know that, because I was one of its Editors.

It is appalling to me that someone who doesn't have the dimmest understanding of many aspects of America, including the First Amendment, holds the Chair named for C. Vann Woodward, a man a knew and respected greatly, and who's son was a good friend of mine in high school and at college, but died young of skin cancer while working on his Ph.D. His name, Peter Woodward, is also on that Chair.

Neither of those gentlemen would have had the slightest truck with the anti-American anti-constitutional drivel that this woman puts out in the guise of being an historian. Sadly, this is one more example of how far a great university, and a good newspaper, whose former Editors, Henry Luce and Britton Hadden, gave the world Time, Life, and a host of other once-great publications, have fallen.

I havent given Yale any money for a long time. I think it's time I strip them out of my will, as well. Might as well give it to my offspring and their offspring. They are not ungrateful and, by and large, they are better squared away in the understanding of the real world.

Down here in Duke U land, the elites that cant sent them to Princeton, Yale or Harvard, pack them up and send them to the Old North State and a university that founded itself on tabbaco and where Durham is almost synonomous with crime and increasing delapidation of the city.

Alas, Duke, remains above it all.But ten again, Ralph Lauren, imagemaker extraordinaire is a shining member of their ranks.

They all opt into a collective sense of superiority and into hard core materialism, the shame of the 60's.

The circle jerk that started in the 60's has grown ever wider.
