...Good meeting you all," I said, my face flush, as I quickly left. I had read Adams and so had nothing to say. My sole experience with a "great books" program offered an ironic glimpse of what it might have yielded in the regular curriculum.

It just floats around on top of the water and gets sloshed around in the waves until it washes up on the beach...
