Tim:

 Here's today's coverage, a Podcast interview with Leon Botstein. Leon
is president of Bard College and was (in his 20's), president of
Franconia College, a progressive college that was very controversial
(and ran out of money). In the Podcast, you'll see he's very critical
of liberals (for not supporting places like Antioch, in contrast to
conservatives, who support their colleges) and also of some decisions
of Antioch administration:

 Please spread the word -- as always, comments on our coverage from
Antioch alums are encouraged.

 --Scott
