The U's connections are Troubled Waters

For an update on the story of the U's mysterious pulling of the "Troubled Waters" film, read Bob Collins' News Cut blog, which reports:

Now, according to reporter Molly Priesmeyer, there's another angle that's surfaced on the "isn't it a coincidence?" list: The U's vice president of university relations is married to the owner of a public relations agency whose client is the Minnesota Agri-Growth Council, which supports practices that are apparently criticized in the film.

The agency is the same one that was -- until recently -- partly owned by Tom Horner, a candidate for governor.
