Inescapable influences

Here's another example of how thoroughly competitive reality shows have wormed their way into all walks of modern life. Xavier University professor Karim M. Tiro tells the campus magazine that his new course on "The History of the Pig in America" will include this Trump-inspired project:

Students will design a web site or museum exhibition devoted to the history of the pig in America. I’m a fan of "The Apprentice," so the class will be divided into competing teams. I’m looking forward to seeing what names they give themselves.
