Read in January, 1997
This book is indirectly responsible for me joining the Fellows program. I admire Shaughnessy's intelligence and resourcefulness. When CUNY began open enrollment, instead of complaining about substandard students she systematically studied their errors and figured out the best way to address them. I love that kind of no-nonsense, roll up your sleeves and get to work kind of attitude. I was way too late to join the CUNY revolution, but I see a lot of Shaughnessy's spirit in the Fellows program.

people into comp theory
In 1977, Mina started it all. Compassion, flexibility, and persistence have gone a long way.
