“I will either see the provost resign and my hard-earned tenure granted at MIT, or I will die defiantly right outside his office,”James L.

Don't miss the comments on that post :-) Is he also going to hold his breath until he turns blue? Posted by: speedwell December 28, 2006 03:26 PM Why is he waiting until February 5th? Does he have an incredible stockpile of holiday leftovers he can't stand to miss out on? Posted by: Ashley Bone December 28, 2006 03:47 PM
