Teaching Grammar The Instructor and Course Participants Updated October 27, 1996 The Instructor Dr. Edward A. Vavra This picture is almost thirty-years-old, but I hate having my picture taken, and I look the same except that the hair is turning gray, I hate to wear ties, and the sportscoat has been replaced by sweaters. The picture hides the "chicken feathers" that usually stick up on the back of my head, and it also disguises the usual five-o'clock shadow that testifies to my aversion to shaving. I began college at S.U.N.Y Binghamton in 1963 as a math major. but the homework I had to do kept me from reading about people. As a result, I became a Russian major, earning my B.A. in 67. A year in grad school at Columbia was followed by four years in the Air Force. During that time, I married (my current wife), and, since we couldn't afford NYC, I transferred to Cornell. It was as a Russian major that I earned my M.A (74) and my Ph.D. (75). What, then, qualifies me to teach an undergraduate/graduate course in English grammar? Through all of college and most of grad school, I did well on exams and got C's on papers. I simply thought that I was a C thinker. But in grad school, one of my colleages pointed out that my papers lacked a thesis. "They lack a what?" I asked. "A thesis," he said. And he sent me to Sheridan Baker's

The six players initially named to the Russian team were Garry Kasparov, Evgeny Bareev, Alexander Morozevich, Alexander Grischuk, Alexander Khalifman, and Peter Svidler. Bareev was replaced at the last minute by Sergei Rublevsky. The Russians finished with 38.5 points (+10-1=3 in match results), a point ahead of Hungary (37.5; +10-1=3) and well ahead of third place Armenia (35.0; +7-3=4). Olympiad standings are determined by the total number of points rather than by the results of individual matches. The Russian team won 25 games, lost 4, and drew 27 to win the gold medal which they have held since the collapse of the Soviet Union more than a decade ago. Their single lost match was against silver medal winner Hungary Kasparov, Grischuk, and Khalifman drew, while Svidler lost.

In 1994 eight of the country's eleven provinces had Slavic (Russian and Ukrainian) population majorities. Only the three southernmost provinces were populated principally by Kazaks and other Turkic groups; the capital city, Almaty, had a European (German and Russian) majority. Overall, in 1994 the population was about 44 percent Kazak, 36 percent Russian, 5 percent Ukrainian, and 4 percent German. Tatars and Uzbeks each represented about 2 percent of the population; Azerbaijanis, Uygurs, and Belarusians each represented 1 percent; and the remaining 4 percent included approximately ninety other nationalities. Kazakstan's ethnic composition is the driving force behind much of the country's political and cultural life. In most ways, the republic's two major ethnic groups, the Kazaks and the "Russian-speakers" (Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, and Belarusians), may as well live in different countries. To the Russians, most of whom live in northern Kazakstan within a day's drive of Russia proper, Kazakstan is an extension of the Siberian frontier and a product of Russian and Soviet development. To most Kazaks, these Russians are usurpers. Of Kazakstan's current Russian residents, 38 percent were born outside the republic, while most of the rest are second-generation Kazakstani citizens.

Previously, I cited a few good reasons to disbelieve the story, but there are plenty more, as Mr. Hertzog demonstrates below: Hello, I'm a composer, and like most of my colleagues, immediately recognized the Webern forwarded "news article" as a humorous fraud.
