  "During hurricane Donna in NYC, in 1960, occupants of high-rise buildings were justifiably frightened when large glass panels of the curtain walls were blown into their offices by the wind pressure.   They were probably even more frightened and amazed when the leeward wind action sucked the window panels out of their offices.   These leeward panels fell to the street, creating an additional hazard to passers-by." --- Mario Salvadori, Saralinda Hooker & Christopher Ragus 1980, 1990 _Why Buildings Stand Up: The Strength of Architecture_ pp50-51

corrupt U of California at Berkeley admin bans Ann Coulter despite combined invitation by YAF, BridgeCal, & Berkeley College Republicans... but she plans to speak anyway
"...'UC-Berkeley, a publicly-funded university, first imposed a series of ridiculous requirements on the speech allegedly in the name of «safety».   Coulter, we were informed, would be required to deliver her speech in the afternoon; only students would be allowed to attend; and the speech location would not be announced until close to the event.', they continued.   'Against our advice, Coulter agreed to all these requirements.   In return, she requested 2 measures, which actually had something to do with safety.'   '1) That the University of California chancellor request that the Oakland chief of police refrain from telling his men to stand down and ignore law-breaking by rioters attempting to shut down conservative speakers, as he has done in the past; and   2) That UC-Berkeley announce in advance that any students engaging in violence, mayhem or heckling to prevent an invited speaker from speaking would be expelled.   As Coulter explained, «If Berkeley wants to have free speech, it can have it.»   The university's response was to ban her speech...'...   'UC-Berkeley has for example, welcomed the corrupt former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox, who has cursed at and mocked Donald Trump, currently the president of the United States of America.   The university, and U-C chancellor Janet Napolitano personally, have revealed themselves to be using [tax-victim] money for an unconstitutional [politically partisan] purpose...'... Just last week, an event with [non-leftist] commentator and former Breitbart contributor David Horowitz was also canceled at UC Berkeley...."

  "In 1981, students graduating from law school received scores of 584 (verbal) & 609 (quantitative) on their College Board exams; business school students averaged 545 (verbal) & 612 (quantitative); & medical school students achieved an average of 580 (verbal) & 642 (quantitative).   All these scores were far above the national mean of 472 (verbal) & 431 (quantitative).   This record contrasts vividly with the performance of students planning a teaching career... education majors were receiving scores far below the average -- only 429 on the verbal test & 397 on the quantitative exam." --- Derek Bok 1993 _The Cost of Talent_ pg 235 (referencing Rodney T. Hartnett 1985 _Trends in Student Quality in Doctoral & Professional Education_ pp 33 & 36; W. Timothy Weaver 1978 "Education in Supply & Demand: Effects on Quality" _School Review_ vol 86 pg 552)

Jeff Sessions was correct, again; when it comes to immigration, Hawaii is an archipelago go itself
"...Sessions's full comment, as relayed to relayed to Mark Levin, was: 'I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the president of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and constitutional power.'   Critics have pounced on that as an attack on the separation of powers. In fact, it was the opposite: a defense of a clearly defined executive power from overreach by an activist, [leftist] judiciary..."

  "Admittedly, the [Socialist Insecurity] Board very definitely over-stressed the insurance concept in the early days of the program.   This was done primarily to build up & maintain public support for the [socialist insecurity] program -- by drawing on the good name & reputation of private insurance." --- Robert J Myers 1993 _Social Security_ pg 15 (quoted in Marshall N. Carter & William G. Shipman 1996 _Promises to Keep_ pp 35-36)
