...Faculty’s reticence to accord history its own place within the general education hierarchy raises grave concerns not only about the sincerity of the General Education program’s original goals—which, so it would seem, necessitate some historical literacy—but more importantly about the legitimacy of those goals themselves. The Task Force’s preliminary report emphasized the importance and inherent value of so-called “liberal learning,” defined as the “free inquiry undertaken without concern for topical relevance or vocational utility?...
...poverty and worse, but hey, what's that compared to a morning stroll around the Dordogne? I wish you would keep your aid, your condescension and the Irish rock stars who go with it, and just unshackle us by scrapping cap.

"Otherwise...
...Washington for St Patrick's Day (March 17). Whether the deadline works or not, senior members of both Sinn Fein and the DUP believe a deal in inevitable. The strange thing is that's because the voters have now cast polarised politics in concrete. The 1998 Good Friday Accord was built around moderate parties, but Paisley and Adams have now eclipsed them - in practical terms, there's no one else to work with. That might not be a great foundation for a functioning government, but if both sides want to win any more elections, it's the only one they...
