What do you like about your job?

I like my job because it is challenging, diverse, and constructive, because I believe strongly in the value of a liberal education, and because I work with good people in a good institution.

What do you do for fun?

I am a cyclist, I read, I run errands for my dog Drummer Boy, and I do the bidding of our Head Gardener, my wife Kathryn.

What was the last good book you read?

The last good book I read was the third volume, Poison, Shadow, and Farewell, of Javier Marias’ trilogy, Your Face Tomorrow.
