At that time, TANG was a safe place to baby sit the children of privilege
who were burdened by poor scores on military aptitude tests. I don't fault
Bush's parents for buying their kid's way into the champaign squadron.
It's important that the best and the brightest conserve their genes for
future generations.


Champaign is in Illinois, not Texas.



It is used as an adjective. Not a noun.

I should have used "champagne" instead. A few use "champaign" to refer
to the bubbly wine, but it's more of a geographical term. So, I stand
corrected.

Cheers
