	Dhochartaigh Thomas Dougherty	Wonderfully current, and wonderfully written. A great description of the underbelly of a free market economy, and us "suckers who are born every minute." I paid $3,000 for my Masters in 1976. I never paid back a dollar because the State loan was forgiven at 25% a year because I taught reading in ghetto schools. Sure beats student loans of today.   Posted by Dhochartaigh on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 6:10 PM [Reply to this]
