Don't ask, tell

A tidbit from the story about Don Cloud's unhappiness with changes at TAMU:

In a lengthier interview Friday with The Eagle, the day he was officially confirmed as president, Loftin was asked whether a regent had asked him to make the change.

"No," he said.

He immediately was asked whether a regent had told him to make the change.

Loftin stared at the table for about five seconds without saying a word and glanced at his spokesman, Jason Cook, who jumped in.
