...like to be called “assistants,” not “graders”—you may be able to ferret out one or two cosmic assumptions of his own; seeing them in your bluebook, he can only applaud your uncommon perception. For example, while most graders are politically unconcerned, not all are agnostic. This is an older generation, recall. Some may be tired of St. Augustine flattened by a phrase or reading about the “Xian myth...

Racing home in the face of that is one of the few things Swift did in her short tenure I applaud. But being a worried parent doesn't exempt you from the law. If you don't own up to the personal use of a state plane and pay for it, you come across like Evita, as if motherhood entitles you to skirt the rules. This lapse might not have caused...
