Richard Holbert may not have a big title, but he's somebody that is
actually working with this technology every day, from the viewpoint of
public education. There were plenty of people I could have talked to,
plenty of people I did talk to without quoting. But nobody represented
the public education viewpoint as well as he did at that particular point
in the story. He offered two or three descriptions for his job, by the
way, and I chose the one that seemed most descriptive given the context.
Your post raises a broader issue to me, that of access to information.
Did you mean to suggest that Texas A&M University supplies selective
access to information concerning the use of public funds, based upon how
well you or somebody else likes a particular newspaper or reporter?
