RICHARDSON — Hobson Wildenthal, a longtime administrator at the University of Texas at Dallas, has long been troubled by the fact that his college wasn't getting the credits it deserved.

We have good sports teams (for the most part), good theater and the arts, and a cost of living that makes you want to throw yourself off the nearest bridge. Still, this is by no means a utopia.
