It sounds intimidating at first, but once you are accepted into the fold and its cozy nook in the Barker Center, you are joining an old family (seriously old—it’s celebrating its centennial this year).Like the Grape Nuts phenomenon, History and Literature is neither History nor Literature—at least not exclusively.

Judge's unslick look might work for hand-drawn cartoons of hicks or a movie that takes place in poorly lit cubicles, but it's not so great for a sci-fi action comedy. It just doesn't look or feel like Talladega Nights or Dodgeball.
