I sat in and listened to what was being said at the forum organized by the UTD Texas Center today. Terry Stutz of the Dallas Morning News was a really leftwing guy, Janet Elliott of the Houston Chronicles was better but I thought that W. Gardner Selby of the Austin American-Statesman was the best of the three.

We heard from Texas House speaker Tom Craddick and the famous Texan Boone Pickens, who beside the oil ventures that made him famous, also contributed 10 millions dollars to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library, at the Maverick PAC of Texas reception tonight at the home of Katherine and Harlan Crow. The main house itself is 20,000 square feet. The addition on the right of the house where the reception took place tonight is 15,000 square feet, beautifully constructed and decorated mightily fine. There's another 15,000 square feet on the left side of the house also. How about that for a house, 50,000 square feet sitting on a 7 to 8 acres of land smack in the middle of Highland Park.
