If you’ve always wondered what your favorite academic blogger looks like, you might be in luck. Some professors are getting in front of the camera to try out video blogging.
One example is LawClinic.TV, run by Fordham University Law School. In it, various law professors and students stand in front of court buildings talking about the challenges of working in law clinics. Other issues covered by the blog include “legal education, justice, community, equality, the rule of law and so much else,” according to the “about” page of the site, written by Ian Weinstein, a law professor and supervising attorney there. The videos are fast-loading and short, but more information is conveyed through the old-fashioned text on the blog than in the video clips themselves.
Do you know of an academic video blog? If so, share the address in the comments section. —Jeffrey R. Young

Fascinating article, but . . .
“mass paperback” > “mass-market paperback”
“like + part participle” > “like< + past particle”

I wonder if he plead innocent to murder? Circumstantial evidence must have been very strong.

“What could be nicer”? If Prof. Murray were diagnosed in time to prevent this tragedy.

Allen Metcalf– Are you a linguist or a criminologist? I disagree strongly with your claim that, “… Beattie’s book plus abundant reports in the media are enough to piece together the criminal side of Murray’s story.” I don’t think you’re qualified to make that determination. Beattie’s book is an imbalanced telling of the story. And since when can we rely on the media for facts?
Funny how so many people are ready to rush to judgement…
