You sit there for 45 minutes, periodically dozing off (last spring the course met at 10 a.m. in Yenching, which is a killer walk for the lazy), and when you stumble out into the light, you realize you’ve taken about five sentences of notes. Yup: Watson literally said nothing.Basically he shows slides of his farm in Iowa. But the TFs can be cute and a lot of fun—high marks...
