[Magdalen] Quotes Douglas Adams in today's 'Writer's Almanac'

[Jon Egger]

>From childhood into  my early 20s I thoroughly enjoyed a now dead columnist
from the Chicago Sun-Times named Syndey J. Harris.  It was carried in the
Duluth newspaper, and I read him every day.  One of his most famous columns
is called "Would we crucify him again?"  I wish I had a link to it.
