i met up with one of our interns recently in san francisco, elizabeth moyer. she had gone to the university of san francisco, she said, "only because i had a full scholarship." it's such a left- wing school - jesuit again, i think. and i said, "what did you get out of your summer with us?" and she looked at me and said, "it made me brave," she said, "not just one time, but 1,000 different times. when i went back to school, and i would stand up, and i would speak out with a professor, with my friends, in other situations, it gave me the courage." well, what is it? what is it that gives them courage? we surround them with strong, conservative women, wonderful role models. we give them opportunities to write. we try to have them published. we let them introduce people. sometimes they're on c-span, on national tv, introducing speakers at our events. it gives them confidence. it gives them courage. it's so lonely on a college campus. people don't understand how different it is now from what it was back in the '50s, maybe, when they were there. what a hostile enviro
