    Thanks George for these class notes. A quick (but important!) correction: while I did say to prepare for a quiz at 10am on Thursday (2/24), I did not announce that quizzes will take place each class going forward.

    The link from the ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketch of ‘The Secret’ (Oprah show) that we watched in class is http://moviestique.blogspot.com/2010/11/snl-oprah-secret.html
