Brian,

One of our fomer governors, Nelson Rockefeller, had the SUNY campus of 
Purchase (Westchester just north of NYC) built of brick, he owned the 
brick manufacturer, but also the campus was designed for quick 
deployment of anti-personnel vehicles and crowd containment lest the 
students riot. Not even knowing that to simply walk in the main campus 
gives one the creeps. Be paranoid.
