SOME KIND OF COLLEAGUE — by Steve Nadis
For years, a friend of mind has put up with unfriendly and disrespectful treatment from a fellow physics professor at her university. My friend assumed that he was not comfortable with the idea of minority women in physics. But after a recent meeting, during which this same professor unfairly laid into a new faculty member who happened to be a white male, my friend realized that the offensive behavior she’s endured all this while may not have had anything to do with her color or gender. “He’s just a jerk!” she said.

I think Nietzsche said something like, An evil taken to its logical extension is no longer an evil.
I like that, GD. I don’t know what it means, but I like it… –S.
