New essay out
And those of you with subscriptions to Golf magazine can find it on page 163, kicking off the special section on the Masters. Yes, I’m serious.

For the record, I say Vijay takes it with a 280. Ernie and Tiger come close. But nobody pays me for predictions. . . .

New essay out
From The Common Review, the magazine of the Great Books Foundation, an essay on Western Civ courses. Not available online, though-- you’ll have to subscribe or keep an eye out for TCR in your local bookstore. I’ll make a .pdf of it available in a few weeks. But that reminds me that I still haven’t updated my essays page, which means, among other things, that last month’s essay (on trying to deal with a conservative student who often disrupted class) has disappeared from this site even though it generated so much commentary and metacommentary in the blogosphere. For any of you who are already nostalgic for 2003, that essay is back-- and here it is. A blast from the past.
Coming soon: a very short essay of mine in a magazine where . . . hmm, let’s just say where neither you nor I would expect to see such a thing.
