Thanks to the Google Free folks, and the generous assistance of Harvard’s news librarian
Jessica Baumgart, you can finally search this website — for particular haiku poets, or the
oft-jaded opinions of ethicalEsq and Prof. Yabut, or anything else at this eclectic forum.
It’s time to celebrate, with a bit of introspective haiku from our favorite Alaskan,![]()
deepening snow–
she leaves our atlas open
to her homeland
choosing a melon–
a song so old
I forget why I cry

Today, Prof. Bainbridge seems to be congratulating himself on being over 30 and having a
brain. I think our country and the world would be a lot better off if we all still had far more
of the idealism and public spiritedness of the under-30 crowd. The Sermon on the Mount
(Matthew 5-7) suggests that Jesus didn’t live long enough to become a conservative —
and I don’t think eternity would be long enough to change His value system.
