Administrative hallway What a co-inky-dink! You run into Jack Foley.

 "Hey, Jack, I was meaning to ask you: What would happen if some Dean goes nuts and does something really really dumb, like tries to destroy a whole run of student publications or declares that any flyer hung in his jurisdiction must be approved by his secretary, or something?"A

 "Well, I don't know. Probably nothing. I mean, who cares? It's his problem. I mean, you hired him, but after that he's on his own."

 "What if he thinks we should back him? I mean, if some students try to fight back."

 "Screw him. We hang him out to dry, and ditto for the students. As long as you and me come out smelling like daisies, what concern of it is ours?"

 "Good point. I was reading something similar in this magazine Jim loaned to me."

 "What was it?"

 "The Microsoft Employee Handbook."

 "Oo. That's a masterpiece. 1995 edition?"

 "'96, the latest."

 "Read the '95. It's a classic. Everyone from General Motors to Time/Warner is studying it. It's the Ioccocaof the 90's."

 "Thanks, Jack." You feel like you've forgotten to mention something, but-- more coincidences-- you've forgotten what it was.
