Productive misreading of New York School communication strategies from R. Archambeau: if I understand him, it's as if the phrase "track star for Mineola Prep" were to be taken as reverse-propaganda, a badge of coolness that signifies superiority, not a keep-your-head-down insight into seeking the laurels among the lawn clippings.

Nice that he points to that issue of The Nation, though -- I am planning to have my copies dipped in bronze.
