Whoa this is really good.

I appreciate that the seeming non sequitur about Harvard disintegrating into the steppes is actually explained by the end of the piece.

Heh, thanks - that gave me the impetus to go on reading, and was worth it for this quote:

> I think a warrior-poet of the teeming Oghuz would respond to the Harvard fiasco by cutting off the heads of everyone involved and then carting away all their stuff, and it would be hard to disagree with him.

(Obviously I don't agree this is the right approach to the situation, but I agree that is what a warrior-poet would do)
