http://twofish.wordpress.com [Twofish’s Blog] I made the comment to a reporter that is was easier for me to start my own university than to go into traditional academia.  This is quite true.  I talked to someone from Olin College which is a startup college.  The amount of seed capital necessary to start up the university was $500,000 and 300 students which is tiny in the corporate world.  What Olin College did have is name-power.  You don’t need too much money to start the university, but you do need people with high academic status, once you have people with status, you can get the money.

Anderson overlooks the nearly unanimous support of editorial boards for both those conflicts, the credulous acceptance by national news organizations of the Bush administration's claims regarding Iraq's WMDs, and the triumphalist coverage of the US military's push into Baghdad.[3] He takes no note of the thoroughly conventional views of most of the guests on CNN's talk shows, the network's heavy reliance on retired military officers for commentary, and Wolf Blitzer's often obsequious and usually predictable questioning of administration officials.
