An ILR student's question about the Project for a New American
Century, and how long Paul Wolfowitz, currently a deputy secretary of
defense, had been planning war against Saddam Hussein, launched a
Lowry riff on "dread of neoconservatives." He said these so-called
"neocons" are people "who have a principled, consistent vision to
reorient the Middle East to a climate of decency."

Referring to conservative Cornellians (Wolfowitz is a 1965 Cornell
graduate in mathematics), Corn showed his familiarity with university
alumni when he said: "I was accepted at Cornell and nearly attended.
Thank you for giving us both Thomas Pynchon and Ann Coulter." ...
