  • Numbers Game -- the Washington Times the Washington Times
    Numbers game -- The Washington Times The Washington Times www.washingtontimes.com Numbers game By Patrick Hruby THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published April 13, 2004 Everyone else has it wrong. The fans. The press. Even the league. They're blinded by box scores. Hamstrung by hype. Of this and more, Wayne Winston is certain. A single mouse click tells him so. "Nobody should be talking about LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony," he says. "They should be talking about Dwyane Wade. It's a crime." For Winston, Wade's superiority is not a matter of opinion. It's a fact, cold and hard, like an icicle. You can argue politics, and you can argue the best "Godfather" flick (well, excluding part III). But when it comes to the NBA Rookie of the Year race, you can't argue the data. At least not with Winston, a former "Jeopardy" champ who's good with math the way Eric Clapton is good with chords. "James rates as an average NBA player," says Winston, a professor of decision sciences at Indiana University. "That's good since very few rookies rate that high. But Wade's a real impact player for Miami. He ranks 21st best in the league in terms of changing the chances of your team winning a game." Like any MIT graduate worth his sodium chloride, Winston has the numbers to prove his point. More than 5,000 pages' worth, to be exact. Only you won't find his statistics in a newspaper. Together with fellow sports math guru Jeff Sagarin -- the brain behind USA Today's computer rankings -- Winston has created Winval, a sophisticated program that rates and ranks the value of every NBA player from Tariq Abdul-Wahad to Lorenzen Wright.

  • Conservative Think Tanks and Higher Education Policy: Selected Public Policy Research Institutes and Their Views on Issues in Higher Education
    1 CONSERVATIVE THINK TANKS AND HIGHER EDUCATION POLICY: SELECTED PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTES AND THEIR VIEWS ON ISSUES IN HIGHER EDUCATION Susan Marie Willis A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 1991 Approved by Doctoral Committee: ____________________Advisor Department of Educational Foundations and Inquiry ___________________ Graduate College Representative ____________________ _________________ _ i Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those persons who contributed to the successful completion of this dissertation. I shall always be grateful to Dr. William York, Professor Emeritus, who helped me formulate the study initially and who encouraged me to pursue this methodology. Special thanks are owing also to Dr. Malcolm Campbell, who as my advisor took me down the home stretch and never stinted with his wise and patient advice, nor failed in his professional commitment. To the other members of my committee, Drs. Leigh Chiarelott, Thomas Wymer, and Carney Strange, I extend my appreciation -- "they also serve who only stand and wait." There are many other individuals I knew at Bowling Green State University who gave of themselves personally and intellectually over the years, especially my colleagues in graduate school, those named and unnamed. For all the support, the brainstorming, and the friendship, for all the good times, I wish to thank Dr. Karen Wheeler, Louise Paradis, Susan Pastor, and Patrick Kennedy. ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to describe four conservative public policy research institutions as organizations in comparison with more traditional policy organizations such as the Brookings Institution, and (2) to examine their views on current issues in higher education in relation to selected national higher education reports.

    2008-01-14-DEM Christopher B. DeMuth Interview Transcription Page 1 of 33 January 14, 2008 Timothy Naftali Hi, I'm Tim Naftali. I'm Director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library Museum. It's January 14, 2008. I'm in Washington D.C., and I have the honor and privilege to be interviewing Chris DeMuth for the Richard Nixon Oral History Program. Mr. DeMuth, thank you for joining us. Christopher DeMuth Happy to be here, Tim. Timothy Naftali Professor DeMuth. Christopher DeMuth Mister, please. Timothy Naftali Let's start with how you found yourself in the Richard Nixon administration, in the White House. How did it happen? Christopher DeMuth In the summer of 1968, I was working -- I had just gotten out of Harvard College, graduated in June, and I was working on a political campaign in Brooklyn, New York, specifically in Bedford- Stuyvesant, the almost all black community, which, as a result of a recent redistricting, that I think Robert Kennedy, then senator, before he was killed in -- earlier in -- in the early summer of 1968, had taken on as a project to create a second black Congressional district. There was the Adam Clayton Powell district in Harlem. Now there was to be one in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Those were the days of four party politics in New York. Republican, Democrat, Liberal, and Conservative. And a man named James Farmer, who, at the time, was a famous national character; he had been one of the leaders of the mid- '60s civil rights movement, head of the Congress of Racial Equality, had the Liberal party nomination, and thanks to Governor Rockefeller, the Republican Party nomination as well.
