Yes you will.  You'll miss a scathing indictment of the American
system of public education, but that's a small loss.  What you'll
really miss is 200 pages of the most delightful, witty, and succinct
prose you're ever likely to find.  Mitchell is a proponent of the
"If you can't write it, you can't think it" school.  He defends it
well, and in so doing gives an excellent example of its inverse.
