Among the first files, DANR has retrieved from its audio-visual archives a speech delivered by Silvio Torres-Saillant, Ph.D., at the DANR annual conference held at the City College of New York in 2004.

No Columbia faculty is more guilty of groupthink than engineering. See how some of those least capable at teaching were awarded “Great Teacher”. Methods detecting rigging of recent soviet elections will show grades are allocated by committee rather than earned by students. See the soviet/mafia/praetorian way alumni officers are elected. The effete affected urinebags around the provost offices should better be flushed so as to return the space to classroom and library use.
