...wheeled bicycle around the Barker Center. With aplomb, even.Harvard’s only fashion columnist (yours truly) sat down with the Canadian-born Teskey, not to examine his recently published book on John Milton—who reads books, these days, anyway?

We have to resist the "it will only take a second" impulse to read an e-mail, check a stock price or chat with a colleague in the middle of a demanding assignment. At the same time, we have to stop pretending that we are machines that can endlessly process tasks without a break.
