from "The N.Y. Times News Summary for Wednesday, March 14, 1984":

	Palo Alto-Reagan was rebuffed by the board of trustees of Stanford
	University. By a vote of 22-4, the board rejected a proposal to
	locate a $40 million Ronald Reagan Center for Public Affairs on
	Stanford's campus. The plan is opposed by many faculty members and
	students because it would have been operated by an organization
	generally regarded as a conservative research body.

Ah, Stanford does it again, working hard to become the knee-jerk
capital of the world.  Let's see... Anthropology student annoys the
government of China (and certain Sinologists) by being so indiscrete as
to mention that many Chinese don't like the current regime, do not
consider themselves better off than before the revolution, and chafe a
bit under such practices as forced abortions.  Bye, bye, Mr Mosher.
Hoover Institute (Institution?) proposes to house the Presidential
papers of what everyone should admit is a historically important
administration.  What?  You mean that when the Dark Ages have passed we
won't be allowed to just bury the papers and forget about it?  Well,
we'll show them.  Stanford won't be afraid to tweak the nose of an
unenlightened government, will it?

[ P.S.	In real life, I'm more civil than this, but this is net.flame,
	and, besides, the board of trustees of Stanford University
	is a bunch of wimps eager to be pushed around by a bunch of twits
	[ whose fathers are wombats and whose mothers wear army boots
	and smell of elderberries! ]. ]
