MY PAST LETTER TO INTERVIEW MAGAZINE (NOV 2003)

Dear Interview,

Thanks for the conversation with Camille Paglia about the tyranny of the publish-or-perish philosophy and our inability to see beyond formal education [September 2003]. It's interesting that your article appeared at the same time that Harper's Magazine published "Against School." Clearly, people are thinking about this issue more and more. It's high time to remember what the late Jean Paul Getty said: "No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or 'get rich' in business by being a conformist."
