I'm grading an assigment for which my students were required to respond to one of the essays they read for class, either the Mark Edmundson or the Earl Shorris "On the Uses of Liberal Education" essay from <em><a href="http://www.harpers.org" target="_blank">Harper's</a></em> (more on these essays <a href="http://www.lunagraph.com/blog/2006/09/signs_of_life_in_the_student_b.html" target="_blank">here</a>). One student, on her works cited page, listed the Shorris essay as, "As a Weapon in the Hands of the Useless Poor."
