Rather stinging, I think.  Not being the academic entomologist, I am perhaps not
sensitive the the grant competition, but I have found I enjoy Mark Winston's
column largely because it is a change of pace from the how-to articles that
predominate (justly) BC and ABJ.

I suppose it is the same reason I lend my copy of Richard Taylor's Joys of
Beekeeping to the newcomers.  It really does not tell you how to keep bees, but
it does tell you about beekeeping.
