I wish I could remember the Orson Welles interview mentioned in the article.

What a franchise. He sold the shows sometime in the 80s as I recall for hundreds of millions. <BR/><BR/>For many years I faithfully watched those shows... Jeopardy for intellectual stimulation and Wheel for mindless fun. Can't bear the thought of watching them now. Don't ask me why.Rick Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701456793164649060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1117121440890685022005-05-26T10:30:00.000-05:002005-05-26T10:30:00.000-05:00Thanks, Bruce.

Seeing that the case is confusing is a first step toward understanding. Students saying they are confused sometimes let that feeling get them down, so that it's an emotional barrier. I recharacterize that as a form of understanding, so students can feel that even the confusion is progress. You have to learn to overcome the uneasiness that comes with seeing confused things.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1117120938471663702005-05-26T10:22:00.000-05:002005-05-26T10:22:00.000-05:00I actually got to see one episode of Jepardy live....I actually got to see one episode of Jepardy live. Great memory.<BR/><BR/>Also, Ann, be realistic. Some of those law students might not understand the case because they haven't yet learned to do what you are trying to teach them - to think like lawyers. <BR/><BR/>You may be one of the lucky ones who didn't start out in law school confused. But, IMHO, most do. And, unfortunately, one of the things that we had to learn was how to correctly interpret that confusing case.Bruce Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815293023158025662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1117119817070548002005-05-26T10:03:00.000-05:002005-05-26T10:03:00.000-05:00I have fond memories of watching Jeopardy every da...I have fond memories of watching Jeopardy every day in some older friends dorm room at Trinity Univ before we went to lunch. Don Pardo and Art Fleming were our hosts. I haven't thought of that in decades, yet Don Pardo's name came to mind in an instant. What an influence it must have had on me.Panchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463873173228883570noreply@blogger.com
