I'm here at my father's home.  I'm his primary (and secondary and tertiary) caregiver as he slowly slides into various sicknesses that will ultimately only subside when he dies.  Pop's most important lesson (other than "Don't take any shit, kid.") was this:

"You see everything in black and white.  There are shades of grey everywhere."  

When we say "THEIR sky" we miss the essential point that we are in a position, at this point in time, in which we share the sky (if we are lucky and I'm not sure we are as I have expressed ad infinitum in previous posts).  Is the U the only group of cynics?  They hate us, we hate them.  Nobody gets anywhere.  It's a waste of energy.  

Hopefully, it won't end with a kind of "if we can't have her nobody can" mentality.

>Definitely not throwing in the towel.  Merely expressing the certainty that Antioch UNIVERSITY will cynically and undeservedly want and try to use this Nobel Prize winner as a shining star in THEIR sky, all while having done NOTHING to save the College of which said Nobel Prize winner is a graduate.
