So today's Austin American-Statesman had a piece patently pulled directly from a press release puffing an online charter school associated with William Bennett or vice versa. The only thing Bennett ever did for me personally is to reprint in his Book of Virtues or whatever he called his little operation where he hired researchers at minimum wage to find copyright-expired material for children the story of Prince Harweda and the Magic Prison, which I had not seen since I was a little kid but had always remembered, partly because the illustrations were Beardsley-influenced, and who could forget that? The word "sweemeats" also captured my fancy and I loved the idea of the mirrored walls moving ever inward.
