“By the time most presidents leave the White House, they have already chosen the site that will be a repository of their papers for future scholars as well as a museum where they can exert control over how they are seen in years to come. Those facilities are turned over to government administrators. But Mr Bush’s thinktank at SMU will report directly to his foundation - raising concerns about academic standards and independence he was forced to address this week.”
