The man was portrayed in the press -- when he pursued Clinton -- as strict but above the fray! What a crock. Time has shown him to be little more than a suppurating lesion on a syphilitic scrotum.

But Baylor U. was such a model for Baptist Christianity! Strict rules against drugs as well, apparently, as reporting rape and other sexual offenses (you read that right -- it was the victims who were shabbily treated by the University.)
