Professor G. Reads Her Monograph

Narrated and linked by Sam Rebelsky.

I entered Professor G.'s class today with enthusiasm. Because we always have such interesting discussions in her class, I knew that I'd have a fun day. Imagine my surprise to see her bring a lectern and a set of typewritten notes to class. She walked up and began ``Today's class will be a little bit different.'' She then spent the next fifty minutes reading us a paper that I believe she'd written for one of her professional meetings. I was stunned at the complexity of her argument about the role of the Talmud in the development of hypertext. She wove an intricate pattern of claim and counter claim, carefully defeating all the counter-claims that I could think of. I'll admit that it was hard to keep up, but it was worth it.
