Louis: While we are the subject of bogus science studies, the latest issue
of Lingua Franca hit the stand, edited by our very own Scott McClemee. In
it there is a terrific symposium on the Sokal affair called "Mystery
Science Theater". There is also a fascinating piece on Canadian professors
trying to teach Business Administration in Havana! This mag is
top-of-the-line and is especially valuable to the professors on the list,
who for some mysterious reason insist on staying subscribed to this Red
Bedlam.
