(humor, but true) I am grading exams. One of my somewhat dyslexic students who tends to confuse word-choice under exam pressure tackled a question about Habermas's Public Sphere, but instead for most of the answer wrote "Public Spire". I think that is pretty cool. An interesting new approach that perhaps acknowledges hierarchies within the PS idea. ^_^ ndp... --------------------------------------------- Nathaniel Poor, Ph.D. www.umich.edu/~natpoor Visiting Assistant Professor Communication Studies Dept.
