A horrid (and predicted) side-effect of the so-called War on Poverty, awful schools, and crime-ridden neighborhoods. People vote with their feet to get away from these conditions, and these “thought processes.”

• A Real World Business Lesson Learned , in Business School:
  

  A business professor at the University of Southern California was arrested on Friday by the FBI on charges of swindling students and others in a real estate fraud, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

  Barry Landreth, who had taught real estate finance and development at the university, stole at least $1.5 million in the first 10 months of 2005, telling students and other investors he would buy land in Chicago and Las Vegas and then sell it for large profits, an FBI affidavit said.

  Instead, he transferred all the money into his personal account without buying the land, the FBI said.

  Lesson (ahem): Do your homework.
