...Just as the '60s weren't quite the '60s yet, so the Beatles weren't quite the Beatles. They were delightful celebrities. It would take a couple more years and the release of albums like "Rubber Soul," "Revolver" and especially "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" for us to see that they were also brilliant musical innovators...

...bankers and the like. It seems the professors wish to prepare students who will fill the future ranks of academia. Yet many of us don’t share this intent. So, why do we study the humanities?

...mere street demonstrations. But there is a proven alternative to throwing out the Constitution. U.S. officials can take a lesson from the Mexican government and police. During quite militant demonstrations against the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Cancun last September, unarmed Mexican police held their positions without using pepper spray or clubbing and arresting demonstrators.
