Decoding the curious case of the University of Oregon’s misdirected records
requires the deductive powers of a master sleuth — one with an ear for dogs
that do not bark, an eye that can detect the fig behind the leaf, and a
nose that will wrinkle at the whiff of a rat. But in the absence of a
Holmes, a Columbo or even a Clouseau, ordinary Ducks are left to sort
through the case on their own by eliminating various possibilities.

Did an unnamed professor do anything wrong when he obtained 22,000 pages of
UO presidential documents? Apparently not — the records were placed in the
university’s open archives, and were available to anyone. All that sets the
professor apart from other members of the public was that he knew what to
ask for.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
