Kenneth Starr & Stanley Fish Quotes

[ronbutters at AOL.COM]

I assume that Stanley was exempting sex with farm animals and keeping students in cages. But he really made such pronouncements. He also once said to me, "So Professor X is arrogant. But tell me something BAD about her!"

I assume these quotes originated in the entertainment industry, where they seem to have some validity, but it sounds very odd coming from the chairman of a university department.  All of us in academia know at least one or two examples of absolutely terrible publicity involving university faculty or perhaps administrators.

When he chaired the Duke English Department, Stanley was very fond of saying,
"There is no such thing as bad publicity"and "All publicity is good
publicity"--I realize that these aphorisms are probably not original with him.
