I heard on PBS the other night that Dubya was rejected as an applicant to the University of Texas (Austin?) the very same year that he was accepted into Harvard Business School. I guess the Bush name has more pull at Harvard than at UT. Good for UT. This is called a "legacy admission" -- where you get in because Daddy and Daddy's Daddy are good check-writing alumni. As someone said earlier, affirmative action for the rich. Maybe it should be called Negative action.
