Veteran Watergate reporter Wood- ward asked Casey if he knew about the diversion. He did. But how did he know? According to Woodward, Casey simp- ly said, "I believed" before he nodded off to sleep. Remember, he was in Reagan's Casey cabinet. However, knowledge of the diversion wasn't all the former CIA director knew. In a sequel to Veil, Woodward's up- coming book, One-Thousand-and-One Things Bill Casey Knew and Didn't Tell You, he reveals many of the other things Casey never told us. In the book, due later this year, Casey discloses facts that only he knew, in- cluding: CoNtlZA The complete lyrics to "Louie, Louie." with The Elephant Man's body.

Many of my friends relish the academic experience offered by George- town. But there are others on campus for whom the four years here amount to little more than a financial shakedown. American universities make no distinc- tion between the two groups, to the de- triment of both. In a better world, I would never haves set foot on a college campus. That would be reserved for those who value the academic life or others who desire the benefit of a "formal" education. And, all of us entering the employment market- place would be judged by what we know, not how we learned it. In order for that to come about, col- leges should give up what they never should have taken on in the first place 4 the task of certifying one's fitness to work. Their strong suit is teaching and learning, not issuing degrees in every- thing from nursing to corporate raiding. If universities stopped handing out pretty little diplomas, the burden of selecting qualified employees would fall on companies and institutions, some of which would specialize in that task. There would be no requirements, no majors. You could pay for as man4 courses as you want and could start looking for a job as soon as you feel ready. Such a nice dream. In the decade of declining enroll- ments, universities are unlikely to allow anyone to slip through their fin- gers without paying the full fee.
