From the New York Times Education Life supplement, July 31 --
"I'm afraid that in the real world I will be so overwhelmed with bureacucracy that I won't be able to teach freely. When you teach geography, history, government, you can go off in so many directions. What if I can't go off on a lecture about Kennedy's assassination, or a discussion of parallels between the Iraq and Vietnam wars? I don't want my students to have to worry that they didn't remember the year Napoleon was exiled. I want them to remember what Napoleon was like."
