SykesIn the late 1950s, "language experience" was discredited in the collapse of "life adjustment" education, but its impulses toward a more democratic, humanistic classroom have proven impervious to failure, rejection, and miserable test scores. Indeed, the movement that was a rollicking bust in the 1950s is reemerging as an |

| If you’ve been looking for effective ways to sell that Brooklyn bridge to stupid people, you should ask Gary Dahl. He happens to be the guy who “invented” the Pet Rock and sold 5 million of ‘em pebbles in the 1970s.

| I’d like to be on your side, Marc. Really. Anyone in a public disagreement with Barry Bonds is automatically assumed to be right, and deserving. But not you. Bonds is right. You’re an idiot. You bought a baseball Bonds hit last month, the one which broke Hank Aaron’s record of 755 home runs. This is what Bonds had to say about |

You’ve been around a long time, seen and heard a lot of stuff, and figure — with good reason — that you have a better long-range view of the world than the younger folks nipping at your heels. See, I feel much the same way. On the other hand, unlike you, I’ve been a severe critic of |

| Something tells us that the kind of peace this Buddhist monk (photo and video furtively smuggled out of Burma) currently enjoys is totally not because of meditation.
