Qaanaaq-LiaaqI’d like to read the the New York Times article but I don’t want to enter my e-mail address and then get on their list and receive e-mail from them. Could you copy and paste the article so it’s right in your post instead? Thank you.

Qaanaaq-LiaaqOne thing I learned early on in college was to never take a course in which a syllabus is not handed out on the first day of class.
I always read it because what’s on it is what’s expected of you. And exams can be based on what’s covered in the textbook, hand outs, and what’s said in class.
I don’t know why nobody took him up on his $50 offer. Maybe some read it but thought it was an April Fool’s day practical joke? Maybe some read it but didn’t bother to retrieve it figuring someone else would beat them to it?
