THAT BERKELEY? (via Glenn Dryfoos):

UC Law School Needs to Privatize, Dean Says: Financial autonomy will help Berkeley's Boalt Hall weather state cuts, educator insists. (Peter Y. Hong, January 3, 2005, LA Times)

Christopher Edley Jr.'s "single most important observation" in his first year as dean of UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law is this: "People in California are slightly crazy."

Edley isn't talking about the colorful characters on and around the Berkeley campus. What is crazy, he says, is the way California has scaled back spending on education. [...]

Edley's plan to maintain Boalt Hall's status as one of the nation's top law schools is bold. It is also unusual for a liberal law professor who served in the Carter and Clinton administrations: He wants to privatize it.

Maybe it's only Democrats inside the Beltway who are incapable of following the Third Way?
