Funny discussion heard at dinner today --
Oxford professor: It is so difficult to get these American students to narrow down their essays to a topic that is narrow enough to research and write about.
American teacher: Yeah, they like to think and write more globally.
Oxford professor: Well, it's not their fault -- it's yours! You people have classes with names like "World History" for crying out loud. Why don't you be fair and just about it and just call it "Everything You Need to Know About Anything" and be done with it?
(He teaches "Western European Politics" here.)
