...access reality through a new and riveting sensory prism. I don’t mean to sound like former Harvard psychology lecturer Timothy F. Leary, famous for his advice to “Tune in; turn on; drop out.” I’m not hocking a bunch of naïve, quasi-mystical “consciousness-expansion” cliches. Getting high may be a journey to new realms of consciousness, but it won’t lead to profound epiphanies or transcendence of any kind. Still, it can be a fun and intelligent...
...Furthermore, the incentive for instructors to maintain a very high standard of teaching will be much stronger when they know that their students’ comments will be moderated only for the grossest forms of indiscretion, rather than edited and condensed into a single sentence with a bunch of adjectives in quotation marks. When teachers are unexceptional, students’ complaints should get a full, public hearing. To simplify them is to make them meaningless...
...home I learned the Marine Corps Hymn before "Jingle Bells." In particular, I remembered the lyrics: "First to fight for right and freedom, And to keep our honor clean."

Also, it has a battery so you can display your photos, at least for a few hours, without a power cord...
...entitled Poor, Misunderstood, Rational North Korea: This narrative sees virtually everything the North has done since signing the so-called "Agreed Framework" nuclear deal with the Clinton Administration in 1994 as understandable - even predictable. Pyongyang signed away its plutonium reprocessing plant and in return was supposed to get a bunch of things in return, including diplomatic recognition from the United States, and two light water reactors for electric power generation from a U.S.-Japanese-South Korean?led consortium. But not much was delivered: The first of the reactors was supposed to have been finished by 2003, but by the year...
