Terrible Quote of the Summer

[chipschap]

Tom Staley, archivist at the University of Texas at Austin, was quoted recently in the New Yorker about his strategy for acquiring literary collections: "It's chess, not checkers. You have to think ahead."

The man is a scholar and a world-famous archivist, but clearly not a checker player.

I am one of those who has to pray before my chess moves too LOL.
