Giacomo Joyce is the title that Joyce Scholar and Biographer Richard Ellmann found written on the cover of the notes and diary in which the author recorded his amorous experience...

He encourages promising teachers to take the city's qualifying exam-then snatches them before any other principal even knows of their existence. "A good scholar is not necessarily a good teacher," he says. "A teacher must love boys first. Then he must have a good background in methodology and in his discipline."
