I've seen it more than once identified as a quote by Bush I (GHWB, #41). http://www.positiveatheism.org/writ/ghwbush.htm The quote was (allegedly) reported by Robert I. Sherman of the American Atheist News Journal, at an informal outdoor news conference at O'Hare on August 27, 1987. -- "When in our age we hear these words: It will be judged by the result--then we know at once with whom we have the honor of speaking. Those who talk this way are a numerous type whom I shall designate under the common name of assistant professors." -- Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling (Wong tr.), III, 112
