Title VI

[Pangloss Publishing]

After reading Stuart Goldberg's excellent response to the posting
labeled Sharon Knox, I had another look at the original message. At
the top it says "X-Authentication-Warning: webmail.uchicago.edu:
nobody set sender to sccampbe at uchicago.edu using -f." Does anyone
know what that means?

Since this message is unsigned, it might be useful to seek
confirmation from Sharon Knox that this actually came from her.

>One might note that the Bush administration has displayed a rather
>narrow view of what constitute acceptable points of view on America's
>place in the world.
>
>Education demands dialogue, and the voices that say that "preemption" as
>a national foreign policy is deeply flawed and will come back to haunt
>us are just as valuable as those that say it is effective.  Or have we
>already closed for all time the case on whether rhetorical bluster and
>military intervention are a better formula for American safety in the
>world than a nuanced understanding of other cultures and diplomacy (in
>every sense of the term)?  Since when has national defence become
>exclusively military?
>
>Should we rally to our nation's defense in time of need?  Of course.
>Should we want the Bush administration - OR ANY OTHER PRESIDENTIAL
>ADMINISTRATION -- and its appointees OVERSEEING the education of the
>next generation of internationally savy Americans, Americans who will
>hopefully have an inordinate impact on the shaping of American foreign
>policy in the next century?  I don't think so.
