Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 8.18.1999
Readers will recall the end of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited, where the narrator Charles Ryder refers to the "Age of Hooper" as an epithet for the egalitarianism of the 20th century. (Hooper was the incompetent and uncomprehending junior officer, representing the flattened mediocrity of public education.)

Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 8.10.1999

Submitted by K. Lloyd Billingsley on 8.3.1999
