...First, the claim that Expos is “useless and boring” to students is not borne out by the evidence of considerable satisfaction among those who take the course. The program’s evaluations each semester repeatedly show students referencing and then refuting an urban myth about the “dreaded” Expos requirement. At the end of the term, students say they found the course much better than they had heard it would be.

The unlimited authority of the autocracy consolidates all power onto itself, and the people abjure all claim to it. It may so happen that the despots enforce a state of equal immiseration, or it may be that they produce one of equal good fortunes. In either case, the ruled class, fixed in place under the unyielding hand of the tyrant, is uniform...
