A Note from the New Office Assistant

By Audrey Pinque ∙ June 1, 1999

Last updated on

As we go to print I have to wonder if Bradley isn’t regretting, just slightly, actually paying a woman to nag him. When he hired me he said that he wanted to get organized. What the poor man didn’t know is that I am an obsessive organizer.

So here we are! We installed Microsoft Publisher and figured out how to use it. We formatted and proofed the Smith Report and it is going to the printer today. Bradley is already working on the July issue, the e-mail lists are organized in the address book, the catalog is finished, the insert is formatted, and we’ve only just begun.

Bradley’s only problem was that he had taken on too many jobs. As I’m sure all of you are aware, when you sit in an office all by yourself, surrounded by mountains of work, it can be overwhelming. I don’t know if “misery loves company” is the best description. but I did tease him one day that the sound of our two “mouses” click-clicking steadily for three hours straight reminded me of two women knitting. It was a nice, productive sound and we got the job done.

Nice meeting you all and now it’s back to work for me.

    While the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has always been a bother, and more than a bother, it never occurred to me to try to go head-to-head with it. The ADL has played the major role in limiting CODOH’s access to the campus press. It’s a corrupting, censorious influence on public dialogue generally, not just with respect…

    Ernst Zündel won another, big round against his persecutors in Canada on April 14. The misnamed Canadian Human Rights Tribunal agreed to adjourn indefinitely its hearings aimed at closing down the Zündel Website in the U.S. (actually controlled and operated by Dr. Ingrid Rimland) by holding Zündel responsible for its revisionist (“and thus anti-Semitic”) content….

    The Stanford Review is an independent conservative student newspaper. Its editor, Mike Toth, writes that there is little interest in the discussion of ideas among Stanford students. He ridicules the intellectual content of the Stanford Daily, the primary student newspaper at Stanford, by noting that the “big issue on campus now [at the Daily] is…

    Friend: The dog-days of August are upon us, the temperatures here in the San Joaquin Valley average 95 to 105 degrees, while the snow that we can still see on the crests of the Sierra Nevada is pouring down into the ten-foot-wide canals that bisect the city. One canal lies right behind our backyard fence…

    ““My goal in this war,”” thundered Winston Churchill in his widely-quoted speech of May 13, 1940, “is victory, victory at all costs.” As history records, the cost was very high indeed. As a consequence of his policies, Britain did not win the Second World War. It merely ended up on the same side as the…
