Your Favorite Sandwiches?
What wonderful sandwiches. I have never tried many of them. Ever since becoming addicted to DEXTER I've wanted the pulled pork Cuban thing. I'm delighterd to see the love of heirloom tomatoes here. I sold lots of them in the 1990s at the store where I worked. Locally grown, amazingly delicious...- Dr Doran

Your Favorite Sandwiches?
I'd rather eat almost anything than that. Last night I made hamburgers for myself and my wife. Ground beef formed into patties, fried in a pan. I toasted some good bread for the buns, and put a tiny bit of mayo, a goodly amount of mustard, a ketchup that I had made myself out of tomato...- Dr Doran

Posting pics is too difficult with this computer ... maybe someday I'll take some that show the gestures and faces I use to keep the brats in line ... AND I THINK I'LL WEAR MY MONOCLE FOR THOSE.- Dr Doran

YES. I only need airfare, a pickup at the airport, a place to stay for a couple of nights, and a guided tour of whatever town it is. ;) One of my ex-teachers who now has a tenure track post at Reed College in Portland, Oregon (very highly rated college!) said she wants to borrow me to scare...- Dr Doran

What Are You Reading
Well, if war helps, goody for it. I have never met Ms. Weil in person but I have certainly read her "The Iliad: Or, the Poem of Force" pretty scrupulously (although it has not stayed with me, alas). As far as Homer goes, in my experience there is no better book than Jonathan Gottschall's 2008...- Dr Doran

Often college students have shorter memories than do ordinary people who are out of college (or never went) but read newspapers and have an active interest in intellectual affairs. The former are often young and have worked so hard to get into a good college that their reading has not been truly...- Dr Doran

I'd start with Sexual Personae, which tries (and largely succeeds) to be an analysis of Western culture from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson (I am not kidding) along Nietzsche's Apollonian (or Apollinian) versus Dionysian axis or nexus or whatever you want to call it. The introduction is...- Dr Doran

The negative press and overreaction over some very (as far as I am concerned) sensible statements about race relations and gender in Closing of the American Mind was the very, very last nail in the coffin of my previous infatuation with the radical left. The PC-directed expulsion of Larry...- Dr Doran

I haven't, but I have read and found interesting Bloom's Closing of the American Mind, and I also have found his protegée Camille Paglia interesting. Bloom himself was a student of Leo Strauss, and although Strauss is beloved by the neocons these days, no less a giant than Robert Bellah told...- Dr Doran

Vintagewise I'm finally reading Gentleman's Agreement, a falling-apart 1952 paperback copy I that my father and I found in Turkey for a buck. And Harp, I am sorry about the postmodernism jungle ... it was the reigning paradigm even in the teaching of History for most of the time I have been at...- Dr Doran

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
"Dirty Jew"? Geez. "How to Make Friends and Influence People." What a creep. And in a Jewish-owned establishment ... that customer was clearly an idiot as well as a nasty person. -

30s/40s Valve Radio Cabinet to house modern system?
You can also try to turn your liability into an advantage by going to the antique stores and telling them "Oh, it doesn't need to work" and thus getting a cheaper price on an old radio set, which you will gut out.- Dr Doran

Is the suit relevant in your life?
Cheers to you for fighting the good fight! I think that I could have some positive effect on campus if I toned my style down a bit ... in other words, if, instead of DB suit and tie and pocket square and fedora, I simply wore pressed slacks and a jacket and no hat and a tie only occasionally... -

Cheers To The Baseball Cap
As for a logo, or any words at all, I would never wear one on an article of clothing, much less upon the seat of my cognition. This is regardless of my support for the institution, team, or product of the logo, word, or picture in question. I think seeing Spuds McKenzie shirts in the 1980s...
