Lee, Could you consider your rhetoric and your audience a bit before you hit send? Are you trying to convince anybody of anything, or are you just mooning the list?

Re: Joseph Epstein: >He was the editor of The American >Scholar, the intellectual quarterly of Phi Beta Kappa, between 1974 and >1997. I read it during the earlier part of that span (also before he became editor). It was a piece of shit, as "intellectual quarterlies" (or more-frequentlies) go, and I gave up on it long before the end of his term. This need not mean that he was a bad editor (maybe it got a lot better in the 1990s), but it doesn't speak at all well for him (in my opinion). ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
