When I was Secretary of the Yale Political Union and a member of the Party of the Right, we invited Secretary of State William Rogers to come receive an award. He couldn't get anywhere near the Law School, where the award was supposed to be presented, because it was surrounded by protesters. I'm embarrassed to admit I was not a protester, but a member of the disappointed welcoming crew. He invited the officers of the Union down to DC a few weeks later, where we presented the award and had lunch in his private dining room. What a creep I was for about 18 months then.
