I grew up just a few miles from Yale University. I would have liked to go there, but that was never going to happen. No money and no scholarships. Still, after my return from duty in Vienna in 1976 I visited some friends on campus and was pretty shocked at how unaware - more unconcerned - they were about history or current events. Their "superior" attitude did not complement their lack of intelligence. I still experience that today and it is a shame.
