The title: "Noam Chomsky(sp?) (And a subtitle I can't remember)"
Reading this particular ditty was worth 50 points towards the final grade...
Since the basic premise of "Contemporary English" was NO more nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, etc... Just noun phrases and verb phrases that the student was required to diagram...AND since I had no chance to get out of the class with better than a "D" anyway... I only read the first page.
I'm sorry, I just didn't see the need to study the life of a guy who liked to diagram sentances. Since he turn out to be a full-fledged commie and noted wack-o, I don't feel I missed anything.
P.S.: Still got a "D" ...and was actually grateful for that inflated grade! :o)
