Donald Luskin says there’s “signs of life amidst the leftist graveyard known as academia”, and posts an email that highlights a debate between a small-l libertarian economics major at a California university and his “very liberal” professor who “shares an office with an econ professor who is an avowed Socialist”.
Meanwhile James Taranto writes:

Taranto suggests that if you have kids who’re in college, you might want to forward his column to them.
Update: On the flip side, Jim Lindgren looks at two Nobel Prize-winning free market economists who were driven out of the University of Virginia during the 1960s for “being on the wrong side of history” back in those Galbraith-dominated central planning days.
