Do we have any Tom Clancy fans out there?  My cousin is reading his
     latest and sent me this little clip.  (Every other year?  I don't
     know... maybe he's predicting something...)
 
     Other RPI alumni, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Clancy
     was the commencement speaker in '92.

     Been reading the latest Tom Clancy novel.  Here's a passage you might
     find interesting.  Jack Ryan is now President and he's hosting the
     Stanley Cup champion Anahiem Mighty Ducks...
 
     "My CIA Director is a big hockey fan," Jack said.
 
     "Really" Bob Albertsen asked.  He was a very physical defenseman, the
     terror of his conference for his board checking, but as docile as a
     kitten in this setting.
 
     "Yeah, he has a kid who's pretty good, played in the kids' league in
     Russia"
 
     "Then maybe hs learned something.  Where's he go to school?"
 
     "I'm not sure what colleges they're thinking about.  I think they said
     Eddie wants to study engineering."
 
     "Tell him to send the kid to Rensselaer.  It's a good tech school up
     by Albany."
 
     "Why there?"
 
     "Those damned nerds win the college championship every other year.  I
     went to Minnesota, and they cleaned our clock twice in a row.  Send me
     his name and I'll see he gets some stuff."
