#1 Old Spook, it's worse than you think. The reason they aren't going to GM is that they're going to Goldman Sachs and Davis, Polk, Wardwell. The easier to make contacts with the CIA, no doubt.

#2 Several notes: The major college accreditation association in the US is called the "North Central Association", which does almost every respectable institution in the US. But not the Ivy League. They (sneeringly) do their own accreditation. But it is often noted that almost none of the Ivy League schools could pass an NCA accred, their standards being far lower than NCA permits. The second point is that the Ivy League require both that their successful alumni donate money and support to the school and fellow alumni, under threat of having their degree revoked! This means that once an organization hires an Ivy Leaguer, he or she will attempt to get other school alumni hired--with cancerous effects. Last but not least, the Ivy League is at the forefront of teaching "situational ethics" and "moral relativism", which produces treacherous, untrustworthy, duplicitous and contemptuous graduates. They fully appreciate Bill Clinton's use of the word "is" to evade responsibility. Third, it should be noted that there are *two* "Harvards". Harvard College admits anyone with money, and is a diploma mill; whereas Harvard Law School is for the elitists. N.B.: six of the top Harvard Law professors have been publicly cited for blatant plagiarism.

#3 Right on, Anonymoose! I had a girlfriend that went to Harvard on a masters program in education. She wrote her master's thesis and sent a draft to me for comment. The thing was a big mess, disjointed, hard to follow, etc etc. I told her so, lovingly and gently, of course. She was pissed off, turned it in anyway, got her Master's degree, which floored me, and the relationship went south. And that is my Hah-vuhd story.
