Abstract: Abstract There’s that story that when God created the Universe, and the Earth, and the United States of America, and the favored professions therein, he wanted to give them good things. To the medical doctors he gave high salaries, to the lawyers he gave fascinating cases, to the carpenters he gave fine lumber, and to the professors he gave low teaching loads. Then he thought, I need to keep things balanced here, good means nothing unless compared to bad. So to the medical doctors he gave 4 a.m. surgery schedules, to the lawyers he gave vicious and unreliable clients, to the carpenters he gave unemployment, and to the professors he gave…colleagues.
