AMAZING ISN'T IT DENNIS, THAT THE NEWSPAPER IS WRITTEN BY COLLEGE  
KIDS WHO SHOULD BE TRYING TO GET THE FACTS CORRECT BECAUSE THE OBJECT  
IS TO GET A DECENT GRADE.

BUT AS MY LONG TIME FRIEND JIM HENWOOD DISCOVERED, KIDS TODAY ONLY  
CARE ABOUT GETTING THROUGH THE CLASS AND NOT ABOUT WHAT THEY LEARN.    
HE RETIRED WHEN HE COULD NO LONGER GET KIDS TO PASS EXAMS IN A  
UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN HISTORY CLASS THAT HE ONCE GAVE TO HIGH SCHOOL KIDS.
