Professional Romance

The professorial romance
http://www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/tburke1/perma82004.html

Now some of this is just part of the general clumsiness of this
particular book. But I do think that this is still what a lot of
Americans think academics are—basically a combination of the Nutty
Professor, Professor Kingley from The Paper Chase, Dr. Frankenstein, and
various and sundry novelistic alcoholic and lechers. People with
secrets, people with strange and monastic passions, people with
eccentric manners and esoteric knowledge, people who are sometimes
horribly unprincipled but usually in an ethereal and otherwordly way.
It’s not utterly wrong, but it’s not especially true either.
