The Cover Spoke Volumes

Your coverage of the unpublished Dead Sea Scrolls in the March/April issue (“Dead Sea Scrolls,” BAR 16:02) was as clever as it was poignantly done. The cover spoke volumes.

Thank you for the wonderful work that you are doing.

Was Professor Strugnell Born This Arrogant?

One wonders whether Harvard University has considered the quality of Professor Strugnell’s editorial supervision of Dead Sea Scroll publication—to say nothing of his near-paranoid responses to criticism? Does this reflect creditably on the school? Was Professor Strugnell born this arrogant, or are such behavioral disabilities preordained to evolve in certain individuals with the acquisition of a modicum of expertise in one’s profession?

Where Fleas Abound

The fleas on your March/April cover were most appropriate. One does not have to drive a horse and buggy to recognize around which end of a horse fleas abound.
