Arrias did the heavy lifting this morning. He took on the issues of mass destruction so we can worry about the missing metaphors. We thought we would use this Monday as a sort of metaphoric leap into a quick encapsulation of this week of transition. The foreign stuff is powerful, and immediate, like a movie […]

When we stumbled down in the general direction of breakfast- or at least the dark steaming liquid substance that begins the headlong fall into the day. This one warmed as the coffee cooled, and was tinged with surprise. We were going to start with a nice and poignant piece by a distinguished scholar. She isn’t […]
