    Comment: In 1968 I was working my way through Stanford as a police officer in a neighboring city. On the night Bobby was killed, those us on duty were called in to the station, one by one, and told to stand by for potential racial violence. The next day in class one of my English professors asked us to write an essay about the assassination. I turned in a blank sheet of paper, as did several other students. There was simply nothing to say.

    Comment: Today's generation is the paying the prize of the misguided Boomer generation. It's up to us to repair the damages that these self-absorbed, self-importance, and selfish generation has caused. The good news is...they don't live forever. Hope they take their ideas and philosophies to their graves!

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
