...whoosh of your 24/7 lifestyle, says author Vince Poscente, 46, in his thought-provoking new book, The Age of Speed. Poscente advocates coming to terms with - nay, savoring - the "more-faster-now world." His contrarian message: "Speed leads to a more pleasant, less stressful experience."

It may be true that discourtesy among public officials gives professors and journalists more to talk about, but one thing is for sure: It won’t make the world a happier, more pleasant, or safer place to live. It is the university’s job to provide substance for thought, not spectacle. Breaking social codes by petty name-calling only creates unnecessary tension between people that hinders compromise.
