@lesson That “A+” article was one of the dumbest, shallowest articles I have read all year. It is precisely this type of needless, mindless cut-throat rancor that prevents this college from living up to its potential. I don’t think I’d be assuming too much to conclude that the author didn’t get any of the A+’s he seems to crave. If so, there should be little doubt as to why not.

Shrader had a story. “I went on a job interview once,” he told me, “and I had my 4.0 GPA printed on my resume, and the interviewer said, ‘Well, Columbia grades out of 4.33. Why do you have a 4.0?’
“Thank you very much for your time. I’m afraid I have no further interest in continuing this interview. I wish you all the best in future endeavors.”
@man Holder was a fall guy on that pardon, Clinton told him Rich needed to be pardoned for security reasons.
