...Chester Hanford, dean of the College since 1927, announces his intent to resign from his post in June to resume teaching in the government department. Wilbur J. Bender '27, chief of the Counsellor for Veterans office--responsible for re-orienting students from the war to the University--is appointed to replace Hanford...
Indeed, this argument (championed by former Chief Justice Warren Burger, among others), has always seemed goofy to me. Let's suppose for a minute that all of the historical evidence demonstrating the framers' intent to assert the essential civic right of the individual to protect his family and property did not exist (John Adams, class of 1755, and Thomas Jefferson, for example, were explicit about their beliefs; Adams insisted that Congress not "prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms").

Like his endlessly hyped 1994 mini-series Scarlett, the non-Margaret Mitchell-written sequel to Gone With the Wind, for which he conducted a $1 million worldwide search to find a star (ultimately actress Joanne Whalley-Kilmer), The Odyssey has been promoted with endless TV ads, a tie-in book and a Website game. The movie's budget went largely to transporting hundreds of cast and crew members...
