Could it be, as I have stated, even though I still disagree with President Maxwell, that "constructing the body" and other items of lit and sociocrit (which I find in the Drake catalog) are not on most student's "todo" lists? I have been under fire for well over 10 years for my criticism of the swarms of neo-derridian druids who have taken over many departments and have tried to keep the "teacher types" out, or have made sure they don't get tenure. I must say that administrators are partly at fault for hiring people who are likely to make publishing glib, silly articles and monographs their number one concern. I wish President Maxwell luck, and I will be the first to praise him if his experiment works out, but I still think it will be impossible without skilled in-house language specialists. TBob Robert D.
