Yesterday, I received a booklet in the mail from "California Newsreel"
advertising "Eight Films on the World-Wide Impact of Neo-Liberal
Economics" ("Multinational Corporations: the Environment, Human
Rights, Immigration, and Growing Popular Resistance"). It looks like a
good project (though I worry about growing popular resistance to
immigration). However, California Newsreel undermines its credibility
by quoting "Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Peace Prize Winner, former Chief
Economist at the World Bank." I didn't know that he had two Nobels.Furthermore, I had an insight about the business major. I was talking to an engineering professor, giving him my line about how there shouldn't be an undergraduate business major at a liberal arts-oriented university like ours. His response: where would those who flunk out of the engineering program go? -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante.
