ck: No joke. Hanson's bushiness propelled him from a lifetime of teaching
classics at Cal State Fresno to the quad at Stanford--no minor feat, that.
In one of his public lectures at Fresno State recently (he still comes here
to oversee his farm), he mentioned having met Bush himself, and the great
man (Hanson's words) actually asked his opinion of the war. Hanson is
flopping all over Bush, any way he can. He seems genuinely ga-ga. Wouldn't
be at all surprised if Bush appoints him something or other. Or not.
Whatever, Hanson would grab at the chance to serve his master.
On this campus and in this town, Hansen wasn't considered a crackpot, even
though he made a point of publicly snubbing the known liberals on faculty.
But everything in Fresno is topsy-turvy from the Bay Area, even from
Stanford.
