Education: Grand Panjandrum
(2 of 2)
Today, at 71, trim, jaunty Archibald Henderson no longer teaches. But he is still up at 6:30, still spends his days writing. The world as he sees it is not always a pleasant place with its "death-rattling traffic of mechanistic technologies . . . [its] moronic camels born with no thirst for knowledge." His own thirst never seems to have been quenched, nor his work ever finished. He is still the grand panjandrum, with a panjandrum's list of projects: a two-volume history of the Transylvania Co. and the founding of Kentucky, a new book on Shaw and a treatise "offering many of my own original proofs" of the converse of the Pythagorean theorem.*
