I was going through some old posts I'd starred in Google Reader, and came across this from four years ago. I vaguely remember reading it. Which is good, because I don't remember having subscribed to that blog.
As the story goes, the author, R.R. Reno, has a friend who must remain unnamed who knows some "conservative power brokers" in D.C. This friend related a story to the author about how some Nixon era "conservative" leaders managed to neutralize the "liberal" educational establishment.
As interesting as I find the concept (I love conspiracy accounts), in order to accept it on anything more than apparent circumstantial anecdotes, I need more than an author relaying a third party account from an unnamed source who in turn is relaying a third party account from another group of unnamed sources.
I placed the binary political labels in quotes because I find them meaningless.
