...personal website from his first year at Harvard, "Gusmorino World," features a picture of his own head--which is animated and spinning--and a section describing four different ways to calculate the mathematical constant...
...getting lost in books: the 550-555 section of the Widener stacks, full of ancient and medieval languages. The study carrels here have excellent collections: on an average day, "Modern Persian Poetry" sits between "Language and Science in Mesopotamia" and "Readings in the Cappadocian Fathers." Best followed by an exit through Widener's main entrance, slightly disoriented, around dusk: marvel at the placement of library and church in direct opposition, fodder for any epistemological crisis...

The eight-section poems run through pieces of Rich's past, focusing particularly on a college life that, according to Rich, was as "a cemetery is controlled."

In particular, the idea that the raw video would truly educate the viewing public more than legal analysts do seems a bit bogus, what with all this abstruse section 2 and section 5 and section 15 business. More likely, we laymen will focus on who gets off the best zingers - our armchair analysis determined by our pre-existing beliefs - then let Rush or Chris Matthews spin it for us as usual. On the other hand, if anyone was grandstanding...
