Ralph Begleiter, Edward and Elizabeth Goodman Rosenberg Professor of Communication and Distinguished Journalist in Residence at UD, was the subject of a widely circulated Associated Press story Oct. 5 after he filed a lawsuit to force the Pentagon to release photographs and videotapes of coffins of service members killed overseas and brought back to the United States at Dover Air Force Base. "I think the public has a right, and maybe even a responsibility, to be aware of them," Begleiter told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Charles Elson, Edgar S. Woolard Jr. Chair and director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance, was quoted in an Oct. 5 San Jose Mercury News story on a Delaware Chancery Court case involving Oracle and PeopleSoft.

Thomas Leitch, professor of English, was quoted in an Oct. 5 Philadelphia Inquirer story on the release on DVD of Michael Moore’s controversial film Fahrenheit 9/11. Leitch said it “might be the ultimate party tape, for like-minded people."

Polly Weir, director of conference services, was quoted in the September/October issue of Mid-Atlantic Events magazine concerning college-based conference centers. “Meeting planners choose our conference centers because they’re unique venues, which offer a diverse portfolio of different buildings and locations,” Weir told the magazine.
