On Saturday a reporter with the Wall Street Journal published a story that my account of being the victim of a hoax at Yale where students were led to believe the exams they had just taken were destroyed and we needed to retake the exam was false. The reporter claimed that no evidence existed to back up my story. Even went so far as to say the class didn't exist.Well here is the student newspaper account of the incident that occurred on January 14, 1970.Will an apology be coming. I doubt it.

I doubt it too....

As it turns out, Ben got his "idea" from a story published in a parody issue of the Yale record.
.
Apparently the parody issue announced that some psychology exams had been destroyed and a retest would be held in the evening.

This makes the whole story even more fascinating.
It's clear that Carson's account is substantially different from the parody.
He says the class was Perceptions 301.
He says 150 students showed up.
He says everyone eventually walked out.
He says the professor showed up at the beginning, and then again at the end.
He says the professor gave him ten dollars.
None of that seems to have happened.
