Home again home again

So one student who saw me today asked me how my holiday went. Ahem. Let me explain what a conference is again. Same student, who is writing an essay on a huge political story from the early 1970s, has not heard of the two journalists who broke the story, which explains the blank look at mentioning the film.

Research, schmesearch.

In my absence the world did not end, but there has been one hissy fit.

Today I have mostly been reading through LJ rather than catching up on emails, and I ought to shoot off to the therapy session. The Florida photos are up on my Flickr site, and contain minimal blackmail opportunities.

More, I guess, or less, maybe, later.

I did ponder for a while about whether they should research Deep Throat. Too much scope for illegal content.

A man with two planks on his head? Or was it three?

the Jew and the WASP journalists that turned up dead in the underground parking of the Watergate hotel in 1972? (ref The Watchmen)

Robert Redford going on to stand for the presidency, as I recall.
