Naked City
Reagan, über alles
By Mike Clark-Madison, Fri., June 25, 2004
In a press release, current YCT President Lauren Conner listed in the UT directory as a junior in the business school, and thus likely not yet born when Reagan was first elected chastised Dorn and LBJ professor (and former Austin councilman) Bill Spelman for showing "juvenile and partisan disrespect" for "the man who was a champion of public affairs" and who brought "hope and optimism to the fallen spirit of the American people," whose loss was mourned by "the whole world."
The objectionable e-mail traffic started with less-than-reverent though hardly "disgusting" comparisons of the Most Holy President to Ray Charles, and apparently went downhill from there, though the "nonpartisan" YCTs offered no examples.
