yet another interview with Robert Kelly, from 2007, is online here: http://peachbats.blogspot.com/2009/07/interview-with-robert-kelly-april-2007.html
I'd like to think teachers in the USA are different but then again I'm feeling particularly naive and optimistic today.
Also, on something else: that link to Shakespeare's sonnets in Morse Code =
dash dot dash dash
dot
dot dot dot
!!!!!!!!!!
Sure, the sonnets get monotonous sounding after a bit, but at the start there's a compelling urgency as the letters are dot-dashed out!
Hoo-ray!
I hope they bunk Polanski next to Manson. They deserve to get to know one another better.
