...inexhaustible sense of wonderment (No, it can't be! Oh, but it can, Professor Langdon). His inner struggle is between his own native academic skepticism and the ever mounting evidence that the world contains something miraculous that said skepticism can't account for. "You, like many educated people, live trapped between worlds," a wise priest (he's also a Mason!) tells him. "One foot in the spiritual, one foot in the physical. Your heart yearns to believe ... but your intellect refuses to permit it." Langdon should get together with Agent Mulder from The X-Files - they'd have...

With students trickling out, apparently feeling the effects of the death march, the final presenters took the podium. One Flip Huffard, a Captain America-looking type, exuberantly professed that the economic downturn put his division, Restructuring and Reorganization, squarely in the limelight. "We live for these days," he declared before essentially rehashing the presentation of Studzinski, whose division does approximately the same thing, only on an international level...
