...currently an ironic one. In Cuba, only governmentally-approved books are permitted. It may come as a surprise that works by the greatest authors in the Spanish language, like Guillermo Cabrera-Infante and Mario Vargas Llosa, will not be featured anywhere at the event—and forget about any American classics. Anything opposing or threatening to the regime is censored. A similar irony that is greatly damaging for the “champion” of democracy who visited Harvard is the venue for the fair. The event took place in La Cabaña, an 18th century Spanish...
...public schools as a sacred cow, vouchers as undemocratic, and unionized public school teachers as modern heroes. Were trains so holy that today there are no planes? Was cotton so consecrated that we lack polyester? Likewise, the monopoly local middle school should not consider itself a temple. We cannot forget the lessons of productive innovation when it comes to education. I do not ask that public schools as they exist today be shut down. But I submit that, after the subsidy is shifted to the student, public schools compete against the full force of a veritable entrepreneurial revolution...
...being able to pee [laughs]. Logistically, it's a little more difficult for me when I go out fishing in a tournament. I stay so focused that I forget that I need to pee.

Correspondence is not the way of communication in the 21st century. More and more is said with buzz words and abbreviated slang. It’s getting easier to forget that there was a time when subtle, deliberately constructed letters, ripe with frustration and emotion, were the common form of exchange.Guy Debord lived in such a time. Born in Paris in 1931, he was a founding member of both the Lettrist International and Situationist International movements, and he wrote letters—a lot of them. The SI movement attempted to use art for social and political change. Indeed...
...seem to be winning a lot...SEEM to be.I’m interested, to be very basic, in “guyness.” What is guyness? What is masculinity? What is the relationship between masculinity and the modern period that we still live in? Forget post-modernism; without modernism there is no post. So how did we get to this thing called masculinity, and why is it so invested in being great? And why is it always building all these monuments to itself?Yet it seems like masculinity is very fragile sometimes. I think all along...
