I think 2004-me would see a future in which it was politically impossible to write that kind of thing as a horrible dystopia.

I assumed there is some sort of rivalry between Stanford and Cornell - I'm not in US so I wouldn't know. But you would not see this kind of statement in a paper nowadays, that's for sure.

Cornell had of a rivalry with Harvard (who can't play hockey).

Stanford really wasn't a concern, they're on the other coast. Though, this was from afew years after my time.

One could as well write it today. Assuming it's a free country and they do find them hideous or doing it for joking purposes (as the author does).

That was as far as I got into the article....
