1. I've noticed that in any

war, uprising, invasion, take-over, revolution, what-have-you, that academics are killed at a staggering rate. Far more than what their numbers or presence would warrant if it's random.

They always seem to be the first targets.

2. The first target of the Nazis in Poland were academics, not Jews. 30,000 professors, civil servants

and artists. I am not at all surprised by this story.
