DONALD KENNEDY: There would have been 30 or 40,000 years of overlap between this small, primitive human and large, aggressive modern humans that we know were in the area for 30 or 40,000 of the years in which we presume these small island humans existed at the same time.
DONALD KENNEDY: Yes, I think it is, and it goes to a history of modern humans as they have gone to other isolated parts of the world where they have generally hunted to extinction other large species of mammals including in some cases other groups of hominids -- human, members of the human family.
DONALD KENNEDY: Well, hardly anything could be more important to the scientific community than its relationship with the governments and the public that support it, and that's been I think pretty good in the past in most parts of the world.

 Issues in S and T, Spring 1998, Wake-up call for academia (Review of Academic Duty, )
Kennedy bluntly states how important the faculty is: "In the way they function, universities are, for most purposes, the faculty." Still, it is clear that the book is also targeting another audience.
The chapter in which Kennedy's passionate concern is most evident is "To Tell the Truth." Returning to the theme of the university and public mistrust, he says that "higher education's fall from grace in the past decade" has resulted partially from research misconduct.
Kennedy acknowledges that the focus on research at the expense of teaching is rooted in the nature of graduate training, not academic freedom.

Kennedy's views about university planning include the importance of working toward institutional goals, involving stakeholders in the planning process, recognizing key faculty issues that affect the university mission, and responding adaptively to both the speed and content of social and cultural changes that influence colleges and universities.
Kennedy's insights are particularly useful for planners because, as he rightly points out, "the very heart of the institution's academic duty to society is the work of its faculty" (15).
Kennedy clearly understands the implications of growing competition in all areas of college and university operations as he states, "It is clear that higher education is in a state of compression: of enrollment, of funding, and of opportunity.

 Inside the ivory tower
Kennedy and Stanford had already been the targets of criticism from conservatives, especially William Bennett, the secretary of education, and the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal, for the faculty decision to revamp the introductory humanities curriculum in 1987-88.
It would be easy to say that Kennedy was done in by some poor internal accounting, by an overly aggressive government auditor, a zealous congressman and an ambitious newspaper reporter, all of whom had their own agendas.
Kennedy is able to weave together all the threads and complexities of what universities are today--the problems they face internally, how they are perceived publicly, how teaching and research remain out of balance--into one thoughtful overview.

 Kennedy v. Ching (Memorandum Opinion)
Ninth, while [Kennedy] gave substantial funds to his sons before DOFSICOD, and [Ching] did not object, this $200,000 expenditure of marital assets nevertheless constituted dissipation, since there was no evidence she knew about the support, they were not [Ching's] sons, they were adults at DOM, and [Kennedy] had no legal obligation to support them.
Ching initially contends that Kennedy "obviously ran up incredible expenses by intentionally wasting marital assets in the year preceding the trial." She subsequently contends that Kennedy's claims "must be offset by the $419,500 in marital assets that [he] wasted throughout the marriage."
Kennedy testified that (a) when their mother died, the older son was age 9 and the younger son was age 6, and (b) on April 6, 2000, the older son was age 29 and the younger son was age 24.

In a sense, the story of Donald O'Callaghan is the story of New York's Irish-American community in the middle and latter decades of this century.
Donald O'Callaghan did not assume authority simply because he was a Carmelite, nor was he content to merely live in an environment that enjoyed a glorious past.
