I wonder if the School of American Studies at the University of East  
Anglia is the moral equivalent of the department of Hitler Studies at  
College-on-the-Hill in the post 9/11, post "W" world?

"Aparcantic" sounds like a Humpty-Dumptism to me:

	`When   I   use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful
	tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor
	less.'
