Miscellany post

I’m in Cambridge for the next ten days or so, working on a Templeton journalism Fellowship, but hoping to socialise in the evenings — hi, Bill! hi John! — with readers. I mean to put some of the little fragments from the lecture programme up here when I have a moment. I don’t have one now: only time to point out that in all the annals of rapacity in the British tourist industry, a prominent place belongs to the Garden House Hotel, which charges £16.00 a day for wifi access. That is, for American readers, $32.00; possibly more, depending on the rapacity of your credit card company.
