...laugh at the unnamed writing program director who said Tom Jehn wasn’t “an intellectual force in the field.” As someone who taught Expos for eight years, I can attest that there are no “intellectual forces” in the field, which I wouldn’t say is even a “field.” Yes, there is something called “composition studies” (sometimes “composition theory”), there is at least one professional society, and there are peer...

No other family members have developed symptoms, reflecting a relatively low infection-rate of the virus. Bonilla is still visibly shaken by his brush with swine flu and concerned about the disease spreading around the planet.
