...best, private passion, for them. The truest words I ever heard in an English class were that the purpose of the English department is to help you increase your pleasure in reading. That's really it. Any claims that literary theory plays some ethical role form a chorus of pure wind-baggery which wilfully ignores political realities. We don't pay cagers to play basketball behind closed doors, so why should we pay these academics to do something equally inaccessible and pointless? I don't speak out of any ideological grudge and I could care less whether these academics continue...

It was a moment when, just briefly, repentance appeared possible. "Yeah," King sneered. He then invited the Byrds to perform a lewd sexual...
...century of professional singing, and they exemplify three angles of redefining country: through folk, L.A. rock or Nashville pop. Yet Harris, Ronstadt and Parton harmonize like a true trio in 10 rapturous airs spanning six decades. They could've been swapping these parts since girlhood. And the voices!
