One measure of the economy that might be looked at in the near future is retail sales.

Although I have researched the college choice process for 20 years, it still might be risky for someone responsible for student enrollment to say anything about debates over rankings and perceived quality. I might be thought defensive or disingenuous but I would like to try to put several issues in perspective.
In light of the debacle that was my article last week, I will never write anything serious again. I wrote about a world issue. The problem is nobody around here cares about anything besides sex, drugs and where to find more sex and drugs. I can't say I blame them. So here's a column for my four remaining fans.
