4th year AP (top 5) here. My field is macro/money. Last March I was invited to give a talk at Texas A&M, and I presented a paper on monetary policy during recessions with a fiscally constrained govt. Some 30 minutes into the talk, an older (probably deadwood) dude with a trucker hat stands up and yells something about "treason" and "aiding and abetting." All of a sudden the crowd starts treating me real ugly. One guy pulled out a rope he'd somehow brought to the seminar, and a grad student threw a can of Shiner at me. I got the hell out of there.
Problem is, it's now the end of August and I have yet to be reimbursed for the flight. Should I call them?
