This "guest speaker" was a graduate of Harvard Law School and
held professional degrees in engineering. The only thing she lacked
was membership in the "Old Guard" of white males.

Wrong on two of the three. She was not a Harvard Law grad, she did
not have ANY technical education or degrees. She was not a member
of the "Old Guard" of white males because God made her female and
she did come from "outside" and therefore didn't know what she was
'sposed to if she held that position nor did she bother to learn.
She was more interested in establishing cell networks and auctioning
off spectrum.

I had to teach her basic Communications Act law....

Sounds like you are bitter that women had broken
the "Glass Ceiling," in an agency that was for so long and
one of the last to be dominated by white males.

I am bitter that someone is appointed a Bureau Chief who is
ignorant in the basic jurisdiction and authority of the agency.

One of the people I worked with and for at the agency whom I
respected the most was a "minority" lady - a "lady" in every sense
of the word - who came from "outside" and learned comm law very
quickly. She passed through the non-existent "glass ceiling" at the
agency very rapidly, served several years at a high position inm the
agency, and today holds a very high non-political career position in
another Federal agency, which she certainly EARNED.

'Bye "Harry".....
