Bear in mind (no pun intended)...Klempner was a consultant for Pacific Western University, many moons ago. At some point he had a falling out with the owner, and things continued to sour...how inexplicable. When he was tossed some lettuce, for services rendered, he couldn't wait to extol the virtues and advantages of a PWU diploma, prominently displayed in your office or foyer. he used to rave about the quality and innovative dynamics of PWU, not only in his crummy books, but to anyone who would listen! Then, quite suddenly...it became the diploma mill capital of the west coast, after they CANNED HIM!...Even though it was state approved and recognized by the CPEC and the CA Dept. of Ed, and had satisfied students in California and around the globe, for years....furthermore, it's sister campus in Honolulu was above board and licensed in Hawaii...yet somehow... it became a "phony", less then wonderful school, almost overnight! Guess all those "learning modules" and "work packet's", and course syllabi were just hanging around the offices and waiting to be shipped to the "invisible student" overseas who couldn't wait to pay for his/her imaginary education, complete with his/her imaginary diploma, (dripping with sarcasm). One thing going for ole' Bear though...if nothing else he's a consistent hypocrite. Kinda makes me think of what Martin Balsam said in Breakfast at Tiffany's, when he articualted the virtue of "being a real phony" in this world...as opposed to being a "phony,phony", when he was discussing the pretentiousness of Holly's Golightly's circle of "less then wonderful" friends...kinda like Bear's
