"Ms. DeJean's advice to universities is reassuring--first, in that they should still be thought to have a say in anything at all, and second, because her message is one of recognizable Enlightenment tolerance. Even so, people who can spell will go on groaning at advertising, the invasion of privacy, cheap journalism, electronic chatter, ghosted books, information without understanding, the impoverishment of language by the rampant image, 500 television channels, instant everything, political correctness and, not least, management. Everything is going to the dogs. Don't believe me: just ask any 50-year-old taxi driver. Or for a better answer, you could read this book."
