LifeTrek Provision #273: Love the Bastards
=== begin quote ===
Finally, Auerbach, puffing on a cigar and getting increasingly frustrated, stopped the banter with the following remark, "How do I do it? Goddamn it, I'll tell you how I do it. I love the bastards."
At which point George Allen, an even meaner hombre than Red Auerbach, blinked in surprise and said to the interviewer, "Nothing we've said so far is important, until now." Auerbach thought for a second and continued, "And I'll tell you how I know that's how I do it. Because five years later, after these guys are no longer on the team, they're calling me up to tell me how things are going."
<some material deleted>
"You've got get the players to owe you. Rather than antagonize them to show who's boss, you have them owe you. You do them a favor without showing two sets of standards or anything like that. You do a favor for one. You do a favor for another. You do a favor and they owe you."
"Also, you learn there are certain players you don't yell at. Certain players, you don't bawl out. Certain players, you know, you slap on the back -- nice going. Some other players, not as much. But you study your players. You listen to people."
=== end quote ===
When I measure myself by that "five year" standard, then I am a real failure. Perhaps, I can do better. I'll have to think about that. All I can do is my best. This week I'll try to listen more. Hope we all can do the same.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.
"Collector-in-chief"

AOL undergoes massive
overhaul
By Margaret Kane
Special to ZDNet News
September 12, 2002, 7:56 AM PT
AOL Time Warner on Thursday announced sweeping organizational changes at its America Online unit, in a bid to make that division more profitable and tighten its focus on broadband services.
An overhaul has been expected for some time. Recently, former USA Networks executive Jonathan Miller was named CEO of the division, in a move that presaged the restructuring.
Speculation was further fueled after a speech that AOL Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons gave in the United Kingdom this week. According to news reports, Parsons said that "if (AOL) is going to live, and I think it is, it will be somewhat like HBO," the company's cable-television division. He added that AOL would need to schedule programming that people were willing to pay for.
Miller will now oversee the AOL brand, interactive marketing and AOL broadband, "with the goal of setting clearer priorities, increasing accountability and clarifying organizational roles," the company said in a release Thursday.
Two executives are stepping away from full-time roles at the company: President Ray Oglethorpe will retire after advising the company during a "transition period," and Jan Brandt, chief marketing officer and vice chairman, will become a part-time adviser to the company.
The positions of president and chief operating officer are being eliminated. COO J. Michael Kelly has been named CEO of AOL International, reporting to Miller. Kelly will also oversee the AOL Anywhere products and services.
Also, CFO Joseph Ripp has been named vice chairman, overseeing corporate and operating functions, including network infrastructure and technology operations. The company is conducting a search for a new CFO.
The online giant has had its share of troubles. The soft advertising market, for instance, is taking its toll. The company recently said it expects 2002 revenue from advertising and e-commerce at the unit to be around $1.7 billion, although sales could come in about 5 percent lower. And accounting processes in its business affairs unit have drawn questions from investigators at the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice.
AOL said Thursday that the business affairs division, which was responsible for making deals that included advertising pacts, would be disbanded, with employees reassigned to the business units they support.
In a release, Miller set a list of objectives for the newly restructured unit, saying that "AOL must maintain its leadership position among dial-up subscribers, enhance our broadband business and reinvigorate our relationship with marketers."
The company has created new "councils" that will work on brand, product and technology strategy. A senior strategy group consisting of Miller, Ripp, Kelly, AOL Interactive Services President James de Castro and AOL Time Warner Media and Communications Chairman Don Logan, has been formed to set corporate goals and strategies.

HEADLINE: Public loss, private grief
BYLINE: DAN DeWITT
DATELINE: SPRING HILL
<extraneous deleted>
Coping in quiet ways
Early September for Joe and Terry Holland, even more than for most families of the victims, will always be heavy with emotion.
Ten days before the attacks, Joe's son, Joey Holland, and his wife had a son. The elder Holland will always be thankful his son lived to see the birth, but sad that the boy will grow up without a father.
The Spring Hill couple also feel for their son's widow, Kathy, who will never be able to celebrate her birthday, on Sept. 12, without grieving.
"It's a terrible time for her," Joe Holland said.
Like Mojica, the Hollands are grateful for the public support for the victims of the attacks and their families. When they visited the New York Mercantile Exchange this summer, the normally frantic pace slowed as brokers stopped working to acknowledge them - even at the risk of losing huge sums of money.
"You know how it is when the president walks into the room and everyone says, "The president's here.' That's the way we felt," Joe Holland said. "They came over and tapped me on the shoulder and told me what a great guy Joey was."
Also like Mojica, Joe Holland was overwhelmed with pride for his son, which in some ways makes the loss even more painful.
The younger Holland attended one of the most exclusive public high schools in the city and graduated from Manhattan College. At 32, he had established himself as a success with the commodities brokerage firm Carr Futures Inc.
"He was a rising star. He'd just been made vice president of the company," his father said.
Joey Holland normally worked two blocks away from the World Trade Center. On the morning of Sept. 11, though, he had gone to a meeting on the 92nd floor of Tower 1 - the first to be hit and the second to collapse.
He and other Carr Futures employees were trapped in a large room and watched as the flames advanced toward them, according to a recent New York Times article.
When they heard about the attack, the Hollands drove to New York immediately. They initially hoped Joey might have just been lost and wandering around in a daze. But that hope dimmed when they saw the devastation at ground zero and evaporated when rescuers found his wedding ring and wallet a week after the attacks.
Since then, the Hollands have coped mostly in quiet ways. To honor their son, they planted a magnolia tree in their front yard. Joe Holland, 58, a retired New York firefighter, retired again - this time from his job as a fire inspector in Citrus County - to spend more time with his and Terry's children: Michele, 17, and Brian, 11.
"That was a mutual decision, me and my wife. She wanted me to watch my son a little better," he said.
The Hollands will also grieve more publicly. Last week, they left for New York to visit family and attend memorial services, though Terry Holland said such events bring her as much heartache as comfort.
"Every one I've been to has been hard," she said. "I don't particularly want to go myself, but my husband wants to go and I don't want him to be alone."

HEADLINE: Remembering the faces; New Orleanians who
were in New York on 9/11 can't forget the firefighters
BYLINE: Angus Lind
Nick Altiero had just walked outside after eating breakfast in midtown Manhattan. It was incredibly noisy, so noisy that he couldn't carry on a conversation with a colleague.
Then he realized the noise was from sirens. Then the fire trucks came by. And that's what he said he remembers the most: "Most vividly, I remember the faces of the firemen -- the look of worry." He looked up and saw smoke billowing from the World Trade Center and said to his traveling colleague, Debra Case, "That's the worst fire I've ever seen."
Little did he know how prophetic his understatement would be. But he would find out a few minutes later when he got back to his hotel near the 59th Street Bridge and joined others watching the TV in the lobby.
"I had seen it on fire in person," he recalled. "To see it come down was surreal."
Richard Whiteside was just arriving in Boston, on his way to New York. Boston, he said, was "a city in chaos." Buildings were being evacuated, and at that moment he did not know quite all that had happened, or that the hijacked planes that crashed into the twin towers originated in Boston. But he and others would find out shortly.
"It was sheer shock, people with blank looks on their faces, like they couldn't comprehend what had happened. I don't think I could comprehend it either," he recalled. The next day he would go to New York, where his daughter had started working in August and where his nephew was in law school at New York University, close to ground zero.
They would be uninjured, it turned out. But he would find "an eerieness" he had never before witnessed.
"To see a major city absolutely still, shut down, it's a very eerie place to be," Whiteside said. "People were moving about but it wasn't New York as I know it. There was no brisk pace, no brusqueness. People would stop and talk, which is not the usual pattern."
Altiero, the dean of engineering at Tulane University, and Whiteside, the dean of admissions at Tulane, were both on official business. Altiero, along with Case, the engineering development officer, were meeting with New York alumni. Whiteside was holding receptions at hotels in an effort to recruit students.
They sat in Whiteside's office in Gibson Hall this past week and shared some of their reactions, emotions and reflections a year after the terrorist attacks.
Altiero couldn't get away from the firefighter's faces that sped by him, a memory he still carries.
"They were obviously there when the buildings came down," he said. "Many of those guys probably never made it out.
"I was in there when it was being built. It was such an engineering feat. To see it come down, well, it makes engineers a little more humble. As the dean of engineering, it just stunned me."
Whiteside grew up in Providence, R.I., and went to college and graduate school at Manhattan College. His wife, Kathleen, is from the Bronx and his mom and dad live in Pelham, where many victims lived.
"There were some very moving stories there," he said. "They spent the next several months going to memorial services.
Whiteside's first job was at Pace University in nearby Pleasantville.
"I watched the World Trade Center go up. 'How high are they going?' I remember thinking to myself," he said. "I was a psych major, not an engineer. It seemed a Herculean task."
Ground was broken in 1966, Tower One opened in 1970 and Tower Two was completed in 1973. They stood at 1,368 and 1,362 feet, 100 feet higher than the silver mast of the Empire State Building.
Whiteside recalled that during the construction, some unruly demonstrations were held in lower Manhattan because of the Kent State University shootings. Workers at the site were upset that the flag there had been ordered to half-staff because of the deaths. The shootings at Kent State took place over anti-Vietnam War demonstrations and the construction workers viewed those rallies as anti-American.
"There were some very mixed emotions," Whiteside said.
But there were no mixed emotions on Sept. 11, 2001.
On Friday night, Whiteside and his daughter ate dinner together, then took a walk. The spontaneous campaign to light candles was about to become a reality.
"You've got to understand," he said, "people in Manhattan don't do this. But there were thousands and thousands standing on Broadway with candles, everywhere, in front of restaurants, stores, laundries, shops, holding them for 15 to 20 minutes. You could have heard a pin drop. It was amazing."
Then he recalled driving on the West Side Highway, across the Hudson River from Palisades Park, N.J. "I was the only car on the road. Talk about eerie. It's usually bumper-to-bumper." Then he heard a roar he had never heard before. "Out in the river, about a half-mile away, there was an F-16 cruising along, fully armed at about 600-700 feet."
Commercial air traffic had been shut down. "I realized the president was in town. Fighter planes were criss-crossing the city. There was a feeling like you were under siege," Whiteside said.
"I can only imagine what people felt like after Pearl Harbor. My dad, who is not a particularly reflective guy, said that was a military base, this is something else."
Whatever your viewpoint on that comparison, there's no doubt that Sept. 11 produced one of the strangest mixes of fear and anger ever in this country. Whiteside sees the attack "more on the U.S. economy than the physical targets. This is speculation on my part, but the economy didn't collapse. It wavered, it shook to its knees. So the attack failed, but the cost was enormous."
Not slighting the police one bit, but like his colleague Altiero, Whiteside said he has a lasting memory of the firefighter. "They lost the top tier of fire department officers. You don't generally think of the higher ranking people putting themselves in harm's way, but they did."
He wandered into a deli in the Bronx where firefighters were being fed. They were talking and he overheard the conversation.
"They were talking about who from engine company this or ladder company that was missing. It was a very family-like operation," he recalled. "They were in shock, had worked 14-15 hours, were grabbing a bite and a couple hours' sleep and going back."
So, the next image was special. "To see people applaud when a fire truck went by, a piece of fire apparatus getting applause," he said, was something else.
As for his reflections of when the events began to unfold, Whiteside said it for all of us:
"The word spread so fast. Everyone was shocked at the same time. We are a visual, graphic society. If we see an image, we understand it. We saw it, it was awful but we couldn't run away from it."
A year later, we still can't.

HEADLINE: Leader Sees New York Police In Vanguard of Terror Fight
SERIES: PERSPECTIVES -- Sept. 11 and Beyond: Raymond W. Kelly
BYLINE: By AL BAKER
New Yorkers are engaged in a war that has no foreseeable end, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly says, and the greatest challenge facing his 39,000 officers is acquiring the training and the global perspective necessary to confront the devastating impact of terrorism.
Mr. Kelly said his ultimate aim was to have a force prepared to meet the challenge of detecting, preventing and responding to biological or chemical attacks or even weapons of mass destruction. Further, he wants his officers able to react to any incident quickly, as if it were "second nature." To that end, Mr. Kelly said, he has ordered backup command posts to be set up across the city and region so the department could function in the event of multiple, simultaneous attacks. He has improved his intelligence division, including hiring a former C.I.A. official, and improved the performance of the department's language specialists. He has sent detectives to Israel and elsewhere to learn, from experts, the art of preventing targeted terror attacks.
Further, he said, he has enlisted a medical specialist to monitor daily developments in the city's hospitals to detect any suspicious outbreaks of illness that might reflect a biological attack. And he has agreed to conduct joint drills with the Fire Department to avoid the problems in communication and coordination that marked the emergency response on Sept. 11.
"I think, in terms of counterterrorism, we're safer now than we were last year," said Mr. Kelly, who took over as the city's top law enforcement official in January. "We have done a lot. We will do more. But I think the city is a safe and hospitable place for anybody to come to. I'm living here. New Yorkers are living here and flourishing, doing well." Excerpts, Page A10.
Mr. Kelly was police commissioner in February of 1993, when terrorists first tried to topple the World Trade Center. He expressed a painful awareness that New York's naivete and complacency led to the city's and the nation's failure to view that strike as a warning.
He said he never expected, a year ago, when he was working in the private sector, that he would return to the police commissioner's job, though he said he knew after the attacks that he wanted to fight the fight.
As the first anniversary of the attacks approaches, Mr. Kelly is among those in the city to whom it has fallen to both reassure the public and fix a security and emergency response network found wanting when terror arrived.
Sitting in his 14th-floor office at Police Headquarters in downtown Manhattan, just blocks from the Trade Center site, he reflected on his role as the first protector of a city that has been a terrorist target four times in recent years.
As perhaps the most visible local law enforcement leader in the nation, Mr. Kelly employs a blend of pragmatism and politics when he discusses his department. He argues that an attack on New York is an attack on the United States that could fracture the nation's economy, and it appears that his goal of obtaining federal money -- $500 million to $700 million -- for training, equipment and other resources seems never to be far from his thoughts.
On the other hand, he does not see his department as hampered by the lack of funds. "We are moving forward," he said. "Would we like additional resources? Sure. Would it help us attain equipment? Yup. But I don't think right now it has prevented us from doing anything."
In the aftermath of Sept. 11, an independent consultant evaluating the Police Department's initial response that day cited a lack of training for a catastrophic event and a failure to conduct enough large drills. It found that some officers did not have a clear sense of who was in charge and that others responded directly to the site rather than to strategically devised staging areas. An overwhelming number of the officers interviewed for the study said they had received no counterterrorism training.
To prepare for a possible next strike, Mr. Kelly said, the formation of multiple command posts was essential.
"Our borough commanders are now practicing and drilling to make certain that they can, if need be, actually control the entire department," he said. "Mobilization sites have to be more clearly delineated. A lot of thought has to go into how they are selected. We have to think in terms of additional or secondary attacks."
In the recent 90-minute interview, Mr. Kelly said repeatedly that he was convinced the city, while hardly invulnerable, was substantially smarter about thwarting terror than it was last September.
He said he saw a freer flow of information from the federal government. He said that measures that included posting police officers on the city's bridges had meaningful effects, even if they might not be obvious to the public. And he said equipping members of the force with technologically advanced tools like beeper-sized radiation detectors could only be an improvement.
Throughout his conversation, Mr. Kelly referred to New York City as the safest big city in America.
"I think we in municipal government and, from what I can see, the federal government are doing everything that they can do and that they can reasonably be expected to do to prevent another attack and to prepare if, God forbid, there is another one," Mr. Kelly said. "So safe is, as I say, a relative term."
He emphasized that the department was more aware of threats and had begun thinking globally. But he said merely sending officers to other countries was not a substitute for the vast spread of intelligence that comes from the federal intelligence agencies. Still, he said, the Police Department's analysts also review foreign newspapers and Web sites, and have begun using sophisticated data-mining techniques to gather information and monitor groups.
Mr. Kelly also took the opportunity to point out one of the city's most satisfying facts: that conventional crime is at historic lows and that the city streets are safer than they have been since Mr. Kelly was born on the Upper West Side more than six decades ago.
Despite pledges by the Fire Department and the Police Department to work more closely, a formal system of emergency command has not been entirely ironed out, he said. But he said a formal system was not essential if both departments did their jobs, communicating and coordinating their efforts.
Mr. Kelly has assembled a staff whose experience has been outside the more traditional aspects of municipal policing. For example, he appointed a retired Marine lieutenant general, Frank Libutti, to head the department's counterterrorism effort and a former director of operations of the C.I.A., David Cohen, to lead the intelligence division.
The World Trade Center struck Mr. Kelly's neighborhood. He recalled finding his bookstore and his bank pulverized and spoke of standing on his roof in Battery Park City, staring at the sky where the buildings used to block the sunrise.
"I'll never be complacent because I walk out of my building every day and I see the gap in the sky," he said. But, he added, he is energized rather than exhausted by his job.
This Sept. 11, he said, New Yorkers will flash back to where they were and what happened that day.
"But I think after that happens, I think people should realize that we are at war," he said. "There are people out there who are bent on the destruction of this country. We have to, I think, internalize that and accept that as a society, and then I think it puts other things into perspective."

HEADLINE: Gaining by degrees ; Colleges grow despite
stiff economic headwind
BYLINE: tom fredrickson
The groves of academe are getting crowded. Bucking the economic downturn, enrollments are growing, and colleges are hiring.
New York City's private colleges and universities are adding new teachers, counselors and janitors to the 80,000-employee sector. The gains come as applications to many of the city's private colleges continue to climb despite the recession and lingering fears of terrorist attacks. ''There aren't many growth engines in the city's economy, but this is one of them,'' says Mark Zandi, chief economist for Economy.com. ''And it should be an engine for growth through the end of the decade.''
In some ways the soft economy has actually helped schools, which offer the ideal place for people to sharpen their skills while waiting for a brighter employment outlook. The universities have also reaped the returns on billions of dollars they have invested to polish the appeal of their campuses and course offerings. What's more, they are benefiting from of a huge demographic bulge-a glut of young people hitting college age.
''As the economy slows, professional and graduate schools are flooded with applications,'' says Mitchell Moss, director of New York University's Urban Research Center. Until recently, he notes, mere undergraduates could cruise straight to Wall Street and make $400,000 trading Russian T-bills. ''Those days are over.''
Filled with hope of a glamorous career, Michael Burger, for example, left Columbia Law School in 2000 to become a journalist. After a string of jobs, including a stint at a dying dot-com, he decided to return to law school and a path to a better job.
''There are Pulitzer Prize-winners out there working for trade journals,'' he says, explaining his decision to come back.
Such heightened educational interest on the part of young people translates directly into growing enrollments and more jobs. In the last two years, New York's private colleges and universities added 8,000 jobs, an increase of more than 12%. While that pace has slowed in the last 12 months, it still contrasts sharply with the slide in the city's overall economy. Since the economy peaked in November 2000, New York City has shed 130,000 jobs, a decline of 3.4%.
Even private elementary and secondary schools have managed to buck the trend, though to a lesser extent. Employment at those schools was flat in the last 12 months, but still stands at 1,100 jobs, or 4%, higher than it did in 2000.
Top of the class
Among the universities, the biggest schools-Columbia University and NYU-are responsible for much of the growth. Columbia added 10% to its salaried full- and part-time positions in 1999 and 2001, and now has more than 13,600 such employees. NYU plumped up its staff rolls by 7% in the last three years to a total of nearly 7,000 full-time staff and faculty members.
In just the last year alone, tiny Manhattan College has added 17 employees, or 3%, to its workforce of more than 500.

I got a questionnaire from the Reunion Committee on the 150th Year Anniversary of Manhattan College.One of the questions was:"How are you affiliated to the College?"
I answered that my best connection was: Jasper Jottings by Ferdinand John Reinke EE'63 and included your e-mail address.I hope someone at the school spreads the word.
We would all appreciate additional members.Thanks for your continued good work.

John:
Thanks for your kind words. It's Sunday. The latest release of Jottings went out last night late. I was ahead of schedule for a change. I have even cleaned up the bounces and sent out the "Try#2" push. (That is a second message to all the stragglers that didn't get thru on the first try.) So I am finished for the day with Jottings. (Work starts on Monday night to prep for the next release.) I am telling you this, not to engender any feelings for my time, but to let you know that it is messages like this that make me feel it is worth the effort.
I wish they would take seriously the new medium that this represents. I am only doing this until they can take it over. It is a fantastic resource. I regularly send them updates on what people tell me (that I can share with them) like updated information.
The good work will continue for as long as I can hold out. I appreciate the little things, (i.e., when two Jasper reconnect, when job leads are passed around, when we hear of the good things that Jaspers do, and the obit that remind us to do more, and the engage-wed-birth happy times that are shared with the invisible community). Notes like yours, with the attribution of the connection, makes me feel like I am modestly repaying the "Chinese obligation" I have to the College. The praise really belongs to the readers, writers, reporters, supporters, and recruiters who have grown this far beyond what I could do myself.
Well on to other tasks, thanks again for the kudos.
John

Dear John,
I was saddened to read of the passing of Father Anthony Rubsys. He was our freshman theology professor. It was for many of us our first insight into theological concepts.
Requiescat

John,
I logged on to the Manhattan College web page.I e-mailed the web site director, Cindy Duggan and suggested a joint venture of sharing information. Her e-mail address is: cduggan@manhattan.edu. I also included your web site address.
We can only wait to see if there is any reply.
Regards,

John,
A few weeks ago you asked why we don't do big engineering projects any more. You then listed some projects that you seemed to admire - the English Channel Tunnel, the high speed rail in France, the new airport in Hong Kong and others, I think. What made me smile when reading that was that as far as I knew everyone of those projects was a government project. Not one of them was built with private money for private individuals (or corporations). Not very you, I would have thought.

[JR: Well, I am frustrated. When our "communist-lite" version of government absorbs all of the money and grants itself privileges not available to the common man, how does one build big things? The regulations is probably the biggest deterrent; capital formation is number two. Am at heart an engineer who like to see society progress. Unfortunately, our organizations are working against our own self-interest.]

Hi -
Thanks for the e-mail. Robert passed away on September 2, 2001 after a long bout with kidney failure. He was on vacation with his family at the time, and left behind me,his wife of 16 years, a son Rob, aged 26, another son, Evan, aged 9, and a daughter, Kate, aged 5 and the light of his life.
You may certainly post this information in any alumni news, He was proud to be a Jasper and still followed basketball!
Thank you.

Dear Ms. Johnston:
Please accept my sincere condolences on our loss. Once before I have blundered into this situation and I apologize for any painful reminders I have brought up. Your report is particularly upsetting to me since I also am Class of 68. Whenever I report obits in Jasper Jottings, it makes me feel my own mortality and those of my loved ones. Luckily I have not had to travel that road too often ... yet. I have taken the liberty of copying the Alumni Office so they can update their records. They will include his names in their prayers, as will I. My fellow alums who read Jasper Jottings, I am sure, will join us in that common prayer. If there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to ask. With the tragedy of 9-11, the needs of those left behind have been brought to everyone's attention.
I wish you all the best things in the future..

John,
I have been enjoying your newsletter for some time now. Thanks for the fine job you're doing in keeping people connected. I'm a 1972 graduate of the School of Business. I've noticed a handful of familiar names from the class of 72 and will keep looking for more.
Thanks,

Getting in touch with James Patterson is a GREAT idea. Do you have any idea the best way to do that? Maybe through his publisher? Or is he the one in the MC Directory in Briarcliff Manor?
Yes, but I remember from one jotting that he is in Palm Beach. He mentor the phone installer in the Bronx. And he gave a fellow Jasper writer a good blurb when he needed it. I think he is friends with a Palm Beach book reviewer. So you need to make an "attack plan". Have you saved your jottings? If not, when I get time I'll do a little research for you. Us fellow unemployeds have to stick together. I start but just looking him up in Switch board by name in the Palm Beach. If it yields a phone number and address, then I think about what to do next. Before you call. (I like to have a script.)

John: I am writing to you in response to the email that was in the jottings this past week. I do the research for the college which does entail updating alumni records. I am writing this in the hopes that either Mr. McCrosson respond to me directly or the alum that he listed respond to me directly to update their records. Out of the seven people listed we have only one of them as being at the company. Thank you for letting me get this out there. We rely on the alum to let us know when they change jobs or home addresses. Yes there is the online directory but it helps to let us now right here in the office to update it directly in our database. There is no notification system from the online directory that lets us know when a record has been updated.

Poor language, poor thinking
September 11, 2002
"More importantly to the issue of education, there is no evidence anywhere that supports the civil-rights vision that black education excellence is impossible unless white children have first been captured to sit beside black children in school. From my view, to contend that race-mixing is a necessary requirement for black academic excellence is racially insulting."
It is interesting that this author continues to hammer away on the fact that education is the most important facet of our society. I keep coming back to the fact that education in ht eUnited States was formed in 17th Century Germany as a way to prepare young men for Army service in the Kaiser's army. Perhaps it is time for a new paradigm. The big Teacher's Union matches off against the big Government and us little people get squeezed. Parochial schools and home schooling are a poor substitute for "free" education.
Free in the sense that parents should pay to educate their children as they see fit and pay the bill for it. Parents have to take the responsibility for the children that God gives them. They voluntarily bring them into the world and thus need to provide for them.
Free in the sense that the government should have no role in it. The parents should decide what their children learn.
Free in the sense that society benefits when parents do their job well and children become responsible productive citizens. Society should help the children when parents fall down on their responsibility but that shouldn't let the parents off the hook.
Here in New Jersey, high school
taxes are driving senior citizens from their homes and forcing them our of the
state. Too long parents have transferred to others their responsibilities.
