Famous vs. Infamous

Does Katie Couric read The Chronicle? A few months back we contrasted colleges' most famous alums with their most infamous ones.

A couple months later, the CBS Evening News anchor did the same thing in her commencement remarks to Princeton's Class of 2009:

“There are a few noteworthy men who were proud to go to Princeton as well … a list that reads like a who's who of American History,” she said. “James Madison, John Foster Dulles, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Malcolm Forbes, James Baker … and Lyle Menendez, who's currently serving a life sentence at the Mule Creek State Prison in California. Hey, you can't win 'em all!”

Ba-da-boom!

Couric wasn't the only one who wanted to keep the game going. Chron readers have offered up a few other famous/infamous pairings:

U. of Southern California
Famous: Neil Armstrong, astronaut	Infamous: O.J. Simpson, disgraced former NFL star

U. of Missouri
Famous: Sam Walton, Wal-Mart founder	Infamous: Kenneth Lay, convicted CEO of Enron

(Tweed is above party politics, but this next one amused us.)

Georgetown U.
Famous: Bill Clinton, president	Infamous: Bill Clinton, president

Harvard U.
Famous: Barack Obama, president	Infamous: Ted Kaczynski, Unabomber

OK, readers: Got any more?
