A couple of eons ago, Huck Gutman taught me Chaucer and Milton and Shakespeare in a classroom at the University of Vermont. Now, it seems, he's teaching the stuff to senators and their staffers on Capital Hill.

The Washington Post did a story you can read HERE on Gutman, who's down there playing chief of staff for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. The professor has not left the bards behind as he barters over bills.
