I've obviously been led badly astray by some glib hack
concerning the calibre & importance of the MLA.
Although I'm not quite clear where Will's 'warmed over PR'
comes in. So dismissive a piece can hardly be the view of itself
that the MLA wishes to promulgate.
However.
It IS reassuring to hear so many scholars come to the defence
of the outfit - a bit like a seminar of vice presidents listing
the vital contributions Standard Oil are making towards
the saving of the environment.
What's a little less reassuring is to read Matt's
48-words-without-taking-a-breath denunciation.
One can hear the coollness & objectivity leaking away
with that unmistakable blattering noise that wind makes
as it escapes from a sacred - but now punctured - cow.
