Indeed, the idea is so big, only Warren could have hatched it. Warren dismisses those who claim he is trying to "build heaven on earth." He says, "I'm not that stupid." But there is nothing in his sales pitch - to thousands of pastors, dozens of heads of state, financiers at the Davos World Economic Forum and editorial boards - that suggests where...

To equip us to tackle these subjects, we are required to take Expository Writing in our first year, in addition to a foreign language—both of which allow us to better engage with most areas of Gen Ed’s inquiry.
