Finally, after several years of keeping score of alumni in the nation’s disservice — Rumsfeld ’54, Alito ’72, Spitzer ’81, and the like — and trying to have PAW recognize my tally, I now feel compelled to change my tack. That is to say, I will try to be politically correct insofar as PAW is concerned and take a positive approach. Let me put forth Michelle Robinson Obama ’85. We salute Mrs. Obama for shepherding her family to allow her husband the strength and freedom to become our 44th president. Congratulations and thank you, Michelle.
