This article referenced some guys jumping off buildings... maybe it was more of the journalist's interpretation, connecting the sort of thing you mentioned with the suicides in a less direct way than I recall. I have wondered if it was a real news clipping (it looked like one), or some kind of old joke.

To answer your question, I went to one of the so-called "elite" American colleges that still has a primarily classical/analytic philosophy program (as opposed to what is known as a "Continental" program). Would rather not say which one, but I was able to take some great logic courses through the philo department.

We used Godel's work directly, and if memory serves also some Goldfarb.
