Two good classes Tuesday

Both classes went very well on Tuesday. In English the students asked a lot of questions, which gave me a good opportunity to go over the grammar points we had to cover. In journalism we had a similar experience. The journalism class has dropped down to about half the original enrollment, but those who are left are dedicated students.

I spent some time collecting several articles about the Judith Miller case so that I can hand them out to my media ethics class. It is 30 pages altogether. It sounds like Judith Miller was a lose cannon at the New York Times.

In the evening I received an early birthday present from my wife -- a new laptop computer. That is a wonderful gift because my old one is getting slower and slower, and I am convinced it is a hardware problem.
