...totally hostile to higher education--an M.B.A. still counts for something. But as G.J. Meyer wrote in his classic 1995 book, Executive Blues: Down and Out in Corporate America, a higher degree in something other than business or law--or, worse, a stint of college teaching--can impart a deadly "academic stench" to one's résumé. And what are we to make of the growing corporate defiance of elementary grammar? At a job fair I attended, AT&T Wireless solicited sales reps with the question, if it was a question, "Are you ready to put your skills to work...
...cookie, not the real thing. Those kids were able to wait longer than the kids in control groups. (As one child said, "You can't eat a picture.")

...government department should turn to a competent, engaging lecturer who can cultivate a coherent program over time. While there will likely be disagreement over what should be taught in such a course, tough decisions must be made in the interest of undergraduates. Sophomore tutorials offer a valuable opportunity to impart a uniform body of knowledge to all concentrators, and, in doing so, build cohesion within the class and the department; moreover, concentrators benefit tremendously from a common foundation that can serve as a basis for discussion in future departmental courses. Other concentrations like Social Studies, History and Science, and History...
