As much as those of us who are nerds-in-training might like to
believe that there could be academics as innocent of popular icons and values as Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Temperance Brennan, it is, in fact, the utter unbelievability of their remoteness which gives charm to these characters. Pop culture rules, even in the halls of ivy. Banality has conquered America. Our diplomats are being murdered, Washington does not respond, and everyone is watching the finals of "America's Got Talent."
