Bush at Harvard - A Far Right Youth

[SOS]

From today's op-ed in the NYT by Nicholas Kristof:

"One fall day in 1973, when Mr. Bush was a new student at Harvard Business School, he was wearing a Guard jacket when he ran into one of his professors. The professor, Yoshi Tsurumi, says he asked Mr. Bush how he wangled a spot in the Guard.
"He said his daddy had good friends who got him in despite the long waiting list," recalls Professor Tsurumi, who is now at Baruch College, part of the City University of New York.

Professor Tsurumi says he remembers Mr. Bush so vividly because he was always making outrageous statements: denouncing the New Deal as socialist, calling the S.E.C. an impediment to business, referring to the civil rights movement as "socialist/communist" and declaring that "people are poor because they're lazy."

3. not every one...

In my mass media communications course my freshman year, a little guy always wore a suit to class and carried a briefcase. turns out he was a city councilman. Later became mayor. Just this year, ran for president.

So, you can't ALWAYS judge a book, etc.
