My teaser this week is from page 75 of Quiet by Susan Cain:

If solitude is an important key to creativity then we might all want to develop a taste for it. We'd want to teach our kids to work independently. We'd want to give employees plenty of privacy and autonomy. Yet increasingly we do just the opposite.

"Never mind that our graduates run the public libraries, school libraries, and everything else around here. Yes, we are on the chopping block. And guess who still doesn't have tenure.

He waited a minute or two, fanciful enough - or tired enough - to imagine whoever, or whatever, inhabited the place settle on a wait-and-see mode.
