#3 To go around the committee chariman to write to Kennedy is grounds for dismissal. Nevertheless, he will probably get the Tenet treatment and a medal.

#4 I'd rather set fire to my wallet than have my tax dollars wasted like this. That way, at least I can warm my hands over the fire.

#8 and one that examined "two-spirited" transvestites in American Indian cultures.

The Arizona Repulsive did a huge article on this last month - a perfect case for keeping such studies in the private sector.

#9 This was from their 97-98 PR release. I read that Harvard's endowment is about $19 BILLION. Time to cut off the funds and make these guys get their cash from their universities. Surely they could get by on $10 billion?

Hmmm, I smell a tax-cutting proposal from W, but I'm sure he'd only increase funding.

What is the total fund-raising goal of Campaign Northwestern and how is it allocated?
The total goal is $1 billion. The goal includes:
* $360 million for the University's endowment
* $262 million for new and renovated facilities
* $378 million for current operations, including development of new curriculum.

How much money has been raised to date?
The campaign began its "quiet phase," or the efforts prior to the public announcement, on Sept. 1, 1996; approximately $457 million already has been raised. That total includes several major gifts that were previously announced. It also includes $170 million from members of the University's Board of Trustees, all of whom have made personal commitments to Campaign Northwestern.

#10 At this very moment, I'm putting together a proposal for next fiscal year, involving me, my assistants Tiffany, Kimberly, Brandy and Trixie, two cases of Jolly Green Giant cream corn, and a pair of roller skates. I figure it should be good for $60-70 million.
