Knowing, inevitably, that I’ll be bored or confused, I also grab a copy of Barbara Johnson’s The Feminist Difference — last week I’d had it recommended (perhaps that’s overselling). The Feminist Difference, on the other hand, has already been read twice cover-to-cover. Newsletter SignupIn perhaps the collection’s best essay, Johnson cites Patricia Williams, writing about style and the often toxic veneer of face neutrality with its violations. Before I had even arrived I was certain that the proceeding events would become the opening salvo of my next phase of writing — I’d even developed some preliminary theses.

After losing two games at Schwab to Creighton earlier this season and then the Ohio State game, Nebraska looked lost in this park. And while the other Big Ten coaches may not like it, they understand the images of this week make Big Ten baseball look exciting and appealing.
