Hi Mark,
I do agree that the MLA is an uniquely USAMerican way of banalizing
meritocracy into a cattle market. That's not quite what you said, of
course, but i feel that the MLA does indeed make the US academic scene
different from the situations in the UK.
Can you say something about how the decimation of the NEA under Helms
et al dovetails with the push into academia from so many radical poets?
My sense, from a distance, is that are inter-related. but you will know
much more.
love and love
cris
