...course, the intent behind the rules is appealing. The college experience should be about learning, even if neither the individual school nor the student-athlete thinks so. Education is important for reasons we all realize, at the very least because not every student-athlete becomes a millionaire. Short of a draft selection, knowledge is the key to a successful future. These are things we hear in grade school...
...obvious that Coles cares very deeply about these issues, and his conclusions are insightful, even if they are not exactly earth-shattering. The volume is relatively easy to read; it is harder to put it all together-that is, to come away with more than a vague impression that the qualities of moral leadership include the need to know both what is right and how to lead. This is not because Coles's argument is complex, but rather because the book is not very focused. It is a survey of moral leadership through various episodes and stories. The stories themselves...
This is not a book that Harvard undergraduates are going to buy in large or even modest quantities.

And just as on a train...
Essentially, madness is a state which one must enter alone, a place into which nobody, not even the audience in a theater, can follow you. They can follow you to the very brink of madnessand follow you with great interest if your name is Hamlet or King Lear. But they cannot cross that threshold with you; they can only watch the play develop around you once you have become little more than a set piece, a constant force of irrationality. There is a reason that the conflicts of government play a larger role in the second part of Bennett...
