Show 4I M monday, january 9, 1978 The Prince Column by John Prince Did 1 tell you about my friend in college? His name was Bob Sylvester. At the end of our junior year he decided to travel around the world and asked me if I would like to go along. Knowing that Id never finish if I tasted the good life, I stayed home that year. So off he went and about six months later he in my room at the University of Washington. You've been around the world," 1 observed, and youve seen many things," I said (college students talked very formally those days). So what," I asked, have you learned?" "Well," said Bob, "I have learned that the masses are asses!" Its taken me years to figure he but was on to something. years ago crook not the we Its fear," said Owen D. Young, but the honest man who doesnt know what he is doing." What better example than the fools in Glcnwood Springs, Colorado? I talked to Robert Hart, the under-sheriof the area the other day. He actually blamed the escape of Theodore Bundy on the engineers and architects. "They never consulted me," he said. The implication was that had they asked his advice, Bundy would never have escaped. What a bunch of baloney. Here was a man who had the all too common ability of blaming everyone but himself. Didnt you ever look in the crawl space above his Bob was ahead of his time. it out, 15 ff cell?" asked. No." he answered, totally without guilt. Here was a prisoner who lived and breathed escape. Here was a man who had actually pulled it off once. And not insignificantly. Here was a man who just might have killed a lot of young women. Now what would you have done? Had you been the who put Theodore Bundy in his cell, wouldn't you have checked it out? I mean, wouldnt you have really checked it out? Wouldn't you have looked at every square inch? Wouldnt you have taken a peck at the crawl space? Now Ive purchased a lot of stock for a lot of good people the last few years. Some have made money but all too many have not. Im not trying to say that Ive been stupid at times too, but Ive never, never, never done anything as incomprehensibly stupid as not looking closely at a cell housing a possible mass murderer. And mass murderer is exactly what I mean. Believe it or not, there have been 50 or 80 killings in the Intermountain West with the same method of operation. I'm told that Bundy might be charged with murder in Washington, Oregon, Texas, Massachusetts, and Vir- When your child turns 18... well hand you up to $5,917.23 for college. With no strings attached.

Who in the world selected the translator for President Carter in Poland? Whoever it was is probably still running our country in some small but all too significant way. Again let me ask, what would you have done had it been your job to select all the interpreters in the various nations? Wouldnt you have had nightmares of undeserved incompetence? Wouldnt you always wonder if what you were about to say was what you meant? Surely with the resources of the Presidency, you could find a near perfect translator. Assuming that is, a reasonable amount of foresight. Fortunately there are still little pockets of competence. Witness, for example, in the first half of the Rose Bowl, the performance of my old alma matter, University of Washington. |
