A Fair Deal?

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found this cited elsewhere.  I don't know the book.

Queenan, Joe. 1992. The Imperial Caddy: The Rise of Dan Quayle and the
Decline and Fall of Practically Everything Else (New York: Hyperion).
132-33: "Leftist intellectuals with hare-brained Marxist ideas get to
control Stanford, MIT, Yale, and the American Studies department at the
University of Vermont.  In return, the right gets IBM, Honeywell, Disney
World, and the New York Stock Exchange.  Leftist academics get to tryout
their stupid ideas on impressionable youths between 17 and 21 who don't
have any money or power.  The right gets to tryout its ideas on North
America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and parts of Africa,
most of which take Mastercard.  The left gets Harvard, Oberlin, Twyla
Tharp's dance company, and Madison, Wisconsin.  The right gets NASDAQ,
Boeing, General Motors, Apple, McDonnell Douglas, Washington D.C.,
Citicorp, Texas, CocaCola, General Electric, Japan, and outer space."
