There were no quotes in this brief item but the title suggested that 
lawmakers really "lauded" him, and that was somewhat distressing. I am 
glad it was not quite the case since my imagination painted this picture 
of full rooms and standing ovations -- not a pretty sight.

We probably should have done more to enlighten the Alumni Association 
about what is really going on -- thanks, Brenden, for doing some of it 
yesterday. Galya
