--A very interesting article, Louise. Thanks for posting it. I'm guessing Hunter College is where he took hs name, then. I didn't read the book, but Blackboard Jungle was a scary movie--one that I'm suspect deterred people from wanting to teach at a high school, at least at an urban one. The acting, however, was excellent. Cindy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
