“The Totally Incorrect Politician” [by Walter Carey]

J'accuseAs everyone from Yogi Berra to Niels Bohr has said, “it’s hard to make predictions, especially about the future.” 

When you make predictions about the past, it seems retroactively inevitable.  Nonsense.

That being said, as the creep says after paying lip service to the truth, here goes: 

TColumbia campusTThey, who know who they are, will go after an Ivy League institution or equivalent (Stanford, Harvard, MIT) and rattle the bones of the administration with the result that

(1) The Dreyfus Case will serve as a cause celebre for the second time

(2) There will be massive layoffs in higher education

(3) Five-year contracts will replace tenure

(4) The tax-exempt status of universities with giant endowments will come under threat

(5) The world is on fire.
