`
Wheeling Jesuit University.
`
"...the university will use [the
green] to enhance its business
curriculum - particularly the

ism...."

Cardinal Connection [2]
Business Department Receives
Grant from BB&T
`
"The funds are to be distribu-
ted in $100,000 a year for seven
years, and are to be used in
specific ways to accomplish the
overall purpose of promoting
capitalism.
`
"For example, copies of Ayn
Rand's Atlas Shrugged and other
works on the morality of capi-
talism are to be distributed to
freshmen in the business major.
`
"Two new courses will be creat-
ted, one dealing with a computer
simulation of capitalism, and
one comparing Democratic Capi-
talism with Rand's ideas in At-
las Shrugged."
`
And a university program, Stu-
dents in Free Enterprise, will
be expanded.

Washington Post [3]
Carlyle Shows It's Still Tops In
Defense - Investment in Qinetiq
Pays Off Handsomely
`
The Post quotes the "senior man-
aging director of BB&T Capital
Markets/Windsor Group, an in-
vestment bank that specializes
in the government contracting
sector":
`
"Carlyle [Group], up until fair-
ly recently, they were involved
in selling and divesting a lot
of their ownership interest in
government contractors"
`
"Now they're back and showing
much of the same intelligence
and timing they showed in the
1980s and 1990s."
`
Well, what's this about Qinet-
iq?
`
The Post explains:

"Carlyle sold Qinetiq stock
worth $281 million in Friday's
offering, earning four times
its initial investment right
off the bat.
`
"Further, Carlyle still owns
stock worth nearly $300 mil-
lion.
`
"That makes nearly an 800 per-
cent return...."
`
Back to the senior managing
director of BB&T Capital Mar-
kets/Windsor Group:
`
"The growth story for Qinetiq
is a U.S. growth story."
`
....IS AN OLD STORY.
`
>From Ambirajan's book *Clas-
sical Political Economy and
British Policy* [4]:
`
It's 1875...
`
"Lord Salisbury's view was
essentially pragmatic.  He was
not concerned whether he called
it rent or revenue so long as
'we get the money';
`
but he pointed out the necessity
of correct definitions because
the vocabulary of the Indian
civilians..."

`
Break:
`
Indian civilians?
`
Young BRITISH bureaucrats sent
to India from the East India
College at Haileybury, Hert-
fordshire, England --where
Adam Smith-type notions were
crammed, and crammed again,
into their noggins.
`
Unbreak:
`
"...because the vocabulary of
the Indian civilians:
`
'is derived with more or less
fidelity from the writings of
political economists.  They
have been required to study the
science closely before they
could undertake our service [in
India], and their minds were
fresh from a close application
to it when, for the first time,
they came into contact with
Indian life, and were trusted
with a share of [the British]
Indian Government.
`
'To the modern Indian [= Brit-
ish] statesman the refined
distinctions of the economical
school are a solid living real-
ity, from which he can as little
separate his thoughts as from
his native tongue.'"
`
`
The REAL Indians finally kicked
out the dumbed-down British.
`
Likewise:
`
THE SUPERPOWER TOO IS DOOMED!
