Read the thread in the October archive on "How to avoid phoniness"; we have addressed (from several different viewpoints) the difference between a "good" teacher of literature and what Franny would call a section man.

That's what the archive is for. ________________________________________________________ G.H.G.A.Paterson (804)662-3737 gpaterso@richmond.edu ________________________________________________________
