re: degrees . . . I've been amused over Chip Delany being a tenured
professor of English and creative writing at Temple University.

Why?

Ain't got no degree . . . no BA, no MA . . .nada.  He did attend Bronx
high Scool of Science.

Hopkins is not cheap, but a degree from JHU is well worth the cost.

Depending where the JHU campus is . . .  the Baltimore campus is easy
to get to.  Take the MARC to Penn Station and wait for the ever so
regular Hopkins shuttle to Homewood.
