The unsettlingly slow avantgardist Alexander Knaifel died today suddenly at the age of 80. He made his living writing for Soviet movies and his reputation with two Eng-lit operas, operas The Ghost of Canterville and Alice in Wonderland. He was almost a minimalist, but too edgy to be classified.

I have been teaching at the same university for many years. We have had teachers come and go. Ten years ago a new teacher joined our department who I had known previously and had admired for their teaching and recruiting ability. After passing tenure, this person has changed dramatically and has caused me great distress in my working situation, with none of the typical solutions solving any of the problems. I am just two years away from a very early retirement, and I am not in a position to look for a new job. I had imagined that I would stay in this job for many more years but I am miserable. Do you have any advice for me?
