What first brings me here is to spread some sunlight on what is at present not discussed except among a few folks and is certainly not discussed freely or openly on the 9th Floor at the James R. Thompson Center in downtown Chicago. There is one--not a member of the Board--who is making great effort to re-create the Board in his own image. Given this person's official position and what with many new, or, newer, members of the the Board, the influence can be effective (and recently was). For now, my effort here is to give alert that all is not well and to have eyes and ears open. This will have to suffice for now.
