...self-selecting group who are self-motivated when it comes to pursuing tenure. “Mostly we tend to hire the kind of junior faculty who are extraordinarily talented and put a lot of pressure on themselves,” Blackbourn says. They have in common an enormous inner drive. The hiring of junior faculty is taken very seriously now because we’re hiring people who could be tenured down the road. They realize this...
...between that volume and this one came Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan, one of the damnedest books of all time. Tapped by Reagan's inner circle to be the President's authorized biographer, Morris had unprecedented access to Reagan, who turned out to be the man who was not there: amiable, detached and mentally adrift.

...would be fine if that were all it was. I have no problem hanging out with geeks getting in touch with their inner desires, like the Microsofties who got body shots from silicone-enhanced exotic dancers at The Beach on Monday night. My problem is that Comdex has spread itself too wide and become too shallow to be of any real use. The products on display have usually either been seen a hundred times before or are showy prototypes - "vaporware" - that will never reach the market and are intended to drum up hype for their company...
