Gordon Ramsay: "Wow, nothing but maggoty bread? You think of Orcish cuisine, you think fresh, vibrant. It's like the chef has just given up, where's the passion, the anger? A taste of Mordor this isn't. What a shame. There isn't even any meat on this menu."

The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself. I wrote about it here:

For poetry makes nothing happen. It survives In the valley of its making where executives Would never want to tamper, flows on south From the ranches of isolation and the busy griefs, Raw towns that we believe and die in; it survives, A way of happening, a mouth. (Auden on Yeats)

Chief Miles Edward O'Brien, who could strangle you with a cordless phone if he wanted to, is pictured. Chief O'Brien, who can kill 2 stones with 1 bird, is facing the camera and winking. O'Brien, who can dribble a bowling ball, is on DS9 station and wearing his classic gold uniform, and has the energy of a man who is walking away from an explosion without looking backwards at it. Closed caption reads, "He was more than a hero. He was a union man."
