...Gates and Stephen Greenblatt and Michael Sandel—by offering the experience to anyone who signs up, students might feel slightly duped, despite it having no direct effect on them?MJS: I don’t think you should worry that giving others access to distance learning will somehow dilute or devalue the college experience. Even at its best, distance learning can’t replace what goes on when students and teachers gather, in-person, in the classroom, in a lab, or around a seminar table.

How can you be playing this weird, overweight guy in galoshes who's socially inept and somehow be a movie star as you're doing it?" It takes an actor who excels at contradiction--a Jewish anti-Semite, a do-gooder drug addict--to pull off the hunky-freak trick. It also helps if he is, in real life, a bit of an oddball...
