From professors to presidents: eleven years with Brodhead and Levin 

Yale Daily News: "On a summer afternoon in 1993, with the fall semester set to begin, a youthful, athletic economics professor and a tall, popular American literature professor began their work at Yale's helm.

Nearly 11 years after the men took office, the literary scholar turned Yale College Dean Richard Brodhead is preparing to assume Duke University's presidency this summer, a move that will end his professional partnership with the economist turned University President Richard Levin.

A guest columnist writes about little-known presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, also known as "LaRouche the Douche": "'Where is LaRouche? Where is LaRouche?

A little while ago the LaRouche campaign would not stop calling the newsroom about a conference call with students and student media.

I would come back from wherever and there'd be another message left in my mailbox saying that so-and-so from LaRouche 2004 had left another message.

I never got a chance to ask LaRouche, after he had called members of the Bush Administration "children of Satan," how he could prove that he himself wasn't a devil child.

"Certifiable" just doesn't do him and his supporters justice.
