"Ninety-nine point nine percent of students at universities today would never go into a Blockbuster store and with furtive glances put a DVD under their jacket and walk out without paying. Why? Because it's stealing! It's shoplifting! It's the Wynona Rider thing! They know if they get caught they're in big-ass trouble. So why is it that these same young, brilliant people will go to the Internet and stuff inside their computers a movie?"
—Jack Valenti, president of
the Motion Picture Association of America, on Internet piracy on college campuses, in a speech at the law school
"Bush considers himself an Evangelical Christian, yet he speaks of the state in ways that Christianity reserves to Christ alone. From the standpoint of Christian theology and responsible biblical
interpretation, when the state acquires messianic significance in the mouths
of its rulers, it becomes demonic and deserving of civil disobedience."
—Stephen B. Chapman, associate professor in the divinity school, quoted in a column in the Chicago Sun-Times, on President Bush's choice of language in his
State of the Union address
"There's never been a
case where I think the student can't be successful at Duke, and the student
is admitted."
—Director of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag in response to a Wall Street Journal article alleging that Duke's admissions requirements are relaxed to admit the children of wealthy donors |
