Lines: 27 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! ]. ]
