All the Christmases roll into one down the wave-roaring salt-squinting years of yesterboy. My hand goes into the fridge of imperishable memory and out come: salads and sunburn lotions, and the brief exuberant hiss of beer being opened and the laugh of wet-haired youths around a Zepher 6, the smell of insect repellent and eucalyptus and the distant constant slowly listless bang of the flywire door.

The right way to teach search skills isn’t to add yet another required subject, as legislators and administrators often do.
