days. Below we have inserted the list of “Courses Taught,” – a list that is simply amazing in terms of the number

(May 7, 2007) George Carter on Subjective Evaluation EFIB Chair George Carter leaves no opening for surprise. It's
one misstep after another, one fly in the ointment followed by two more. The latest gaffe comes from the 4 May
