...here. Tom has spent almost 30 years working in and out of Harvard, since graduating from the College in 1967 and the Graduate School of Education in 1973. I see him as a senior administrator who dashes in and out of his office to Administrative Board meetings in a flash of rep tie and blazer, but also as having a youth and restlessness to help that is absolutely contagious...
...strange mess: Everyone's worst fear (being found out) enacted in a flash tragedy. Why did he wear two V-for-valor pins? Two seems to be piling it on a bit thick. Did the first false-macho decoration demand a twin, a second iteration, to make it convincing...

The romantic notion that life in the wild where the caribou roam is better. Well, he also invented a town where all the children are above average. If all those "drones" with salaries "in the mid five digits" he describes flee the corporate world, who will be left to pay Keillor for spinning yarns and reading poetry on public radio...
