"UPDATE: I'm in the middle of studying for the Bar Exam " Main stream media didn't cover the Iraq war protests? Wouldn't cover labor victories? Guess I'm glad that it's the bar he's studying for, not medical boards.

The UK military might was pretty strained by 1944. It was with great reluctance that the British agreed to an invasion of France in 1944.

High school teachers know about this stuff. A drama teacher I know always knows exactly how many tickets she needs to sell to break even after licensing.

I agree that I cherry-picked reservists (and could have gone on to Chaffee, long-time senator from Rhode Island, Paul Moore, long-time Anglican bishop of New York, etc. etc,) But frankly, the regular Army types who have gone on to distingui

1. The limits of charlatanism are sooner reached in STEM than in the humanities (or, a fortiori, in newspaper op-ed writing). Yet having said that, I think the humanities are very much worth studying. 2. Do the student tours emphasize labs?

"if you have to sit there and rewrite it again and again, don't do it." Pick up a variorum Yeats some time and see how much he rewrote--final version "The Lament of the Old Pensioner" looks very little like the original.

How very odd. I think that I've read 16 of the Board's 100; some I think great, e.g. Yeats's _Autobiographies_. Others, well, Fussell's _The Great War and Modern Memory_ is a fine book, but top 100? Dangerfield is fine, but again, top 100?

1. Odd statement on JQ Adams: "He devoted most of his adult life to public service, notably after leaving office." True, but clearer if one said "notably as a congressman after his single term as president". 2. The statement that Cleveland'

How many colleges still run their own bookstores? I just checked six in Washington, DC: four stores are run by Follett, one by Barnes and Noble, Howard runs its own. Of course, I have no idea how many the schools get. But it was my impressi

The book is freely available on-line, or was last I looked. How many of its readers really need access off line?

And the Huffington Post is built to last, and has a sane & modest founder?

"Beck and Palin are the inevitable outcome of that devolution. They are what we deserve. They are, in fact, what we've created." Right. Would Fr. Coughlin have got where he did without the Internet deluge? Or William Jennings Bryan or Willi

An internship should provide mutual advantage: the intern should learn skills or a body of knowledge he/she did not have before, the employer should get some work done, and perhaps have a chance to evaluate the intern for future hiring. I'd
