What kind of title is “Coming Together” for this news? Standard Atlanta stuff – they’re clearly closing the Atlanta College of Art. Merger? No, I don’t think so. So now the art professors there won’t be at an accredited school or be granted tenure when they’ve earned it.

I’m sure that Chávez remembers the US doings (through Kissinger) in supporting the Chilian General Pinochet against a democratically elected socialist government, and he knows that relations with the US are all about the oil.
