I can see the "regulars" on this list are probably
still in college. I graduated with my MBA six years
ago. You'll grow out of your narrow minded mostly
liberal way of thinking. But the only way you can do
this is to think for yourself. Going against the
grain instead of letting yourself be influenced by the
majority will due wonders for you. You'll find out in
the real world. Best wishes.

Mr. VANOCUR: Governor Clinton, when the president, running gets
into the office and wants to do something about the economy, he
finds in Washington there's a person who has much more power over
the economy than he does - the Chairman of the Federal Reserve
Board, accountable to no one.  That being the case, would you go
along with proposals made by Treasury Secretary James Brady and
Congressman Lee Hamilton to make the Federal Reserve Board
Chairman somehow more accountable to elected officials?

Gov. CLINTON: Well, let me say that I think that we might ought
to review the terms and the way it works but frankly, I don't
think that's the problem today.

Words-L has generally preferred truth to lies. Generally,
this puts one on the side of Clinton/Gore.
One needn't be a democratic partisan to recognize that the
overwhelming bulk of sleazy tactics, distortion, disinformation, and
dirty tricks is coming from the current Administration.  Silencing of
critics, snooping through State department files *beyond* normal FOI
requests, and playing fast and lose with facts, not to mention
polarizing, McCarthyism, homeophobism, and pandering to right-wing
extremists such as Dornan characterize the Bush campaign. Strikes me
as kinda funny that objecting to sleaze marks us as pro-Clinton/Gore.
Guess that says something, huh?

Actually there are a number of surgical procedures that are currently
available for constructing or reconstructing a penis.  Most operations of
this type are done for transexuals (women wishing to become men) or men who
have been, how shall I say this, "cut off" by a jealous spouse or girlfriend.
 There is also a surgical technique for men who wish to be "un-circumcised"
and return to the way nature made them.  The new field of microscopic surgery
is making all kinds of operation possible these days.

Have we decided yet when/where the '93 event is gonna be?  If nobody speaks
up pretty soon, I'm gonna start assuming that it'll be a goat roast here
in Starkville.  One problem is that I was counting on Amy and Jimi to come
through as goat-roasting team, but they seem to have vanished from the
list -- too much FTF life must be eating up their time.  I think I may be
the only person here who is a consistent WORDS-Ler.  Frank is a pretty
close second in consistent following of list life -- and something about
him makes me think that he would be an *excellent* goat-roaster...  Then
there's Price, who pops onto the list once every six or eight months, but
who does have the plus of having made it to the clambake and met various
WORDS-Lers in the flesh.  Speaking of consistency, Mississippi weather in
July is quite consistent.  There will be no mysteries about what you need
to wear.  Right now I'm looking at clambake pictures on the bulletin board
beside my computer and laughing at the thought of clothes like that in
Mississippi in July.  I'm looking at Jenna in a red sweatshirt with white
squares on it, Leah in a yellow sweater, Alec in a Villanova sweatshirt,
Jim Bradley in a navy blue windbreaker, Rashmi in a Drexel sweatshirt, Rod
in a Harvard hooded sweatshirt.  In the pictures in front of me right now
only Graham, who is half naked, looks appropriately dressed for Mississippi.

Congrats on the new job, Adam.  Hope you let us know your new email
address real soon -- my mailer always croaks with uucp addresses so let
us know the gateway (if that is what is needed).

Ludlow is just north of Springfield -- as Rod already said there is an
exit for it on the Mass Pike.

Should the New England contingent have another get-together?  How about
it, Brownies?  Anyone know what is with the Robymeister -- haven't heard
from him lately.

No, it sounds wretched to me, too, as I remarked here several months
ago.  This seems to have become a trendy expression in business,
where one now frequently sees references to "growing" one's
company and the like. The early demise of this use is to be
fervently desired.
