those inconvenient quotation marks</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif">In Vera White's column, she
notes that Commissioner Kimmell presented a leadership seminar on Robert E.
Lee. Leaving aside all matters of taste, time, or common sense in such a
presentation for the moment, I paused over this quotation:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif">"
'Understanding and Applying the Leadership Principles of General Robert E.
Lee' describes Lee as a leader for all ages who 'remade a rag-tag bunch of men
into one of the most impressive fighting forces history has ever known.'
Further, 'as a business man, he took a debt-ridden Virginia plantation and
streamlined its operations; and as a teacher who turned a backwater college
into a prestigious university.' "</FONT></FONT></DIV>

can be found here: </FONT></P>

<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" size=2>in a review of
H.W. Crooker III's *Robert E. Lee on Leadership: Executive Lessons
in Character, Courage, and Vision.*</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>"In this remarkable book, you'll learn
the keys to Lee's greatness as a man and as a leader. You'll find a general
whose standards for personal excellence were second to none, whose leadership
was founded on the highest moral principles, and whose character was made of
steel. You'll see how he remade a rag-tag bunch of men into one of the most
impressive fighting forces history has ever known. You'll also discover other
sides of Lee—the businessman who inherited the debt-ridden
<st1:City><st1:place>Arlington</st1:place></st1:City> plantation and
streamlined its operations, the teacher who took a backwater college and made
it into a prestigious university, and the motivator who inspired those he led
to achieve more than they ever dreamed possible."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>Call me suspicious, but I wonder--did
Kimmell cite Crooker's book? Or has that naughty little plagiarism bug
bitten him too?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>Melynda Huskey</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>P.S. Ah, yes,
Washington and Lee. In 1916 the football team honored Lee's
legacy by refusing to play football against Rutgers, since a black
man, Paul Robeson, was a member of the team. What a proud
heritage. </FONT></P></DIV></FONT><BR clear=all>
