<p>Oh yeah, one more delicious postscript.</p>
<p>This Sunday at commencement Brandeis will be bestowing an honorary degree on Jill Abramson. Today Jill Abramson was abruptly fired from her position as executive editor of the New York Times. How’s that for timing? Whoever is going to introduce her and describe her achievements that led to her honorary degree must be feverishly rewriting his/her script.</p>
<p>Brandeis may want to get out of the honorary degree business. They’re not doing so well this year.</p>
