It's good that this is finally available.

Wellesley's efforts to keep the thesis under wraps were contemptible.

The college president, Nannerl Keohane, declared that 'The senior thesis of every Wellesley alumna is available in the college archives for anyone to read -- except for those written by either a "president or first lady of the United States."'

When MSNBC called her up to discuss the decision Keohane, who's contributed to Democratic politicians, 'replied, "I have no memory of this," and hung up the phone.'

So now it's out and all's for the best. So far it seems pretty dull, though. The ideas may be shocking, but academic prose makes everything it touches leaden and dull.

- You’re probably right, unless some enterprising Freeper can pinpoint a number of instances of plagiarism in the thesis. Then, look out prime time coverage!
