Re: Gould from the Chronicle of Higher Ed

Too bad the Chronicle article isn't available in full on-line. I'd be
really interested to read the f_minor response. Why? 'Cause about nine
months ago, a Said article from The New Yorker, about the nature of
national and religious identity of Israeli Jews, started a real
back-alley cyberbrawl (a perfectly normal, common form of discourse on
this list) on another of my e-mail lists; Said is a prominent
Palestinian-American. I wonder if he'll write about stamp art next year.
Or Heathkits. I wonder how he'd like it if I started following him
around Cyberspace.
