...Still, fact checkers and computers can do only so much. It remains difficult to find a textbook, online or in print, that isn't shallow and tedious. Project 2061, the education-improvement initiative of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, examined 10 of the most widely used high school biology texts last year and could not recommend a single one as satisfactory.

Across the Atlantic, Moby Dick has bombed as critics still have not settled the debate on whether the novel is a work of fiction or actually whaling industry propaganda.
