...Opposed to him we find a Machiavellian younger professor, Dr. Irwin, hired by the administration to get the students into the elite institutions. Irwin seeks to avoid clichés and trite essays, emphasizing that the “old ways” produce only “dull” essays. History (and academia, for that matter) is nowadays “entertainment,” where “facts are just the beginning,” according to Irwin...
...sounds trite to say so, computers aren’t silly. They, and the network that connects them to one another, have revolutionized the meaning of the term “information.” Questions that once took days or weeks to answer now take seconds or minutes, and that doesn’t just mean shorter waits, it means we can ask many more questions.

I look forward to hearing of Caldwell’s efforts to further Christ?...
...When I go over to the Med School and I talk to those folks, they see in my work a reflection of their own inspiration,” he says. “I think they almost get gleeful, they get so excited. Instead of writing these trite papers or looking at a microscope, they see it in some beautiful form. It’s almost this mirror of their inspiration back at them.”Much of his work features round, globular shapes that evoke lava lamp goo given a Salvador Dalí treatment—a look...
