    The story cited in “Fun with School Rankings” is Vonnegut, “Harrison Bergeron.” Which must be the best-remembered story with the worst-remembered title in existence.

    I think you’re right. Funny; I wouldn’t have expected Vonnegut.

    Thanks!

    I thought it was Harlan Ellison, myself. When I hit Google with “harlan ellison gifted handicapped,” the second hit identified it as Vonnegut.

    This latest issue was very handy and timely for me, by the way. We’d just been talking about the high cost of journals here, and my partner asked me what Blu-Ray was last night. Thanks.

    You’re welcome. I specifically did that essay as a service; I thought it was timely. (Which is why I posted it here in W.a.r. before the C&I came out.) I’ll keep tracking the technologies…
