re: #287 LudwigVanQuixote

Nice post, Ludwig. And to follow up from last night: I’d submit Mendel as the most significant research ever to have only become really important decades after the research was performed. The Modern Synthesis and all that jazz.

re: #290 Walter L. Newton

Everyone I’ve talked to about it has found it in wildly bad taste. The most generous interpretation is onrushing senility on Keillor’s part— that he actually meant to be light, but badly, terribly misjudged his tone.

I don’t think so, though. He sounds like he really, really means it.
