Quote of the Day
"Its hard to become a terrorist if your girlfriend won't let you."
-Lawrence Wright, explaining why separating boys from girls leads to extremism at a lecture in Oriental Hall this evening.
I'll link to the podcast of his speech as soon as the University posts it. I can safely say that he gave the most thought provoking speech I've heard in years.
The fact that a pulitzer prize winning author graduated from my program and held my job 35 years ago gives me hope.
Update: here's the link for the lecture. Also check out the Naomi Wallace lecture above it on political writing called "How not to abide". I fell asleep during her lecutre, but I had VERY interesting dreams.
