Who is "Brad Nelson?"

Back in the early 70s, I wrote under the pen name of Brad Nelson.  I chose to do so because at the time I was a student at a community college in Chicago and wanted to remain anonymous as I wrote scathing anti-administrative and politically incorrect op-ed pieces for a struggling student publication called the Southwest Journalism Review, SWJR, for short.
I still have some of those articles I wrote and am fond to this day of the work I did. 
My column was entitled, "Brad Nelson Here..." and today I proudly revive Brad Nelson's persona in this blog.
Brad will tackle a variety of subjects.  I hope you'll enjoy what he has to say.
