Contact during this Age of Information - Sadly, given the volume of email, I cannot provide a timely response. In fact, I practice information fasts, going off-line for extended periods (imagine mornings without NPR). By getting away I'm hoping to get back. Back to clarity and collegiality, writing and teaching, and other worthy pursuits. A small experiment, to be sure, but one in which you inadvertently may become a participant. Please accept this explanation for my delinquent response. You might try routing your contact through my school.
