Robert Snyder suggests in an article on universities and
personal computers that Drexel officials are getting a kickback
from some computer manufacturer.  May I be allowed to suggest that
this is a reprehensible statement without any foundation and that
if he had said it about a particular individual might well
be actionable.

In another article today, we read a complaint about ad hominem arguments
in politics.  Is it any wonder that politicians use these tactics when
the electorate is so willing to use and believe them?
