Dear Deborah
I must have missed something, but certainly I nowhere did, nor would I
support 'professors stealing student's work, running non-competitive
"competitions" and robbing each other blind.' Indeed, I find all of
that appalling, as I do most of what has been said about the UGeorgie P
competition. I just meant that the Press has now suffered a necessary
comeupance.
If that is what you thought...?

I give up these words easily, they are easy
to give up, like changing currency before
a border: the cursive line between mountain
and sky, say, as perfect a mismatch as any
made in heaven.
