    Last Wednesday I sent out the following link:
    
      How Our Universities Are Failing America and What Can Be Done About It
      (dangerous tract pretending that universities are anti-American)
      http://www.goacta.org/Reports/defciv.pdf
    
    This was a report from an organization founded by Lynne Cheney that
    accuses numerous college professors of being enemies of civilization,
    quoting them by name.  (The URL for an article about the report
    is provided below.)  But the report disappeared from the Web site
    for a while, and now it has returned to the Web site in a completely
    different format with the names of the alleged thoughtcriminals
    removed.  Does anyone happen to have a copy of the original version?
    I thought it was quite disturbing for the vice president's wife to
    be issuing this sort of enemies list, and I don't want the issue to
    be swept under a rug.
