What kind of column did you write for the Ft. Worth Telegram?

I've been to Dallas many times thru the years....mainly to shop or do the spa thing at Los Colinas. (Uhmmmm....bliss itself, if you haven't gone there.) But I've not gone over to Ft. Worth. I keep thinking I'll drive over and visit the botanical gardens there and see what changes have been made over the last 35 years. It was there, btw, that I first saw a production of 'Shakespeare in the park' done. Thanks for the book reference. I've added it to the list of things I plan to read 'someday'. <g> For some reason, I just don't read actual books much anymore....I satisfy my curiosities and interests by way of the internet. Even literature.....I recently re-read some of T.S. Elliot's poetry on my computer. Back when I was in school, an MBA graduate typically had an undergraduate degree in business or accounting. Such a degree combination meant a person could have 5-6 years of college with almost no exposure to history, literature, sociology, psychology, etc., in other words, no critical study of what makes people tick. Yet these graduates would be put in charge of hiring, motivating and managing people as well as making business decisions that subtly shape societies over time. Now, interestingly, most large corporations prefer their managers to have an MBA with an undergraduate liberal arts degree and they love the MBA/English literature combo. What I'd like to see happen now is for the undergraduate Business degree to have more liberal arts course work requirements in the program. Some of the business courses are very repetitive and could be condensed, freeing up hours for the liberal arts study. JMHO. :-)
