The New York Times has published a classic consuite debate: Which is the greater wizard, Dumbledore or Gandalf? (It’s Gandalf, of course. Everybody knows that.)
The writer, James Gorman, comes to a semi-respectable if wimpy answer: Ged, from A Wizard of Earthsea. More wimpily, he doesn’t mention Rincewind at all; neither does he make even the sketchiest of genuflections in the direction of Jack Vance.
Hmmmmf.
Still, it’s a start. Next: William Safire on the Enterprise vs. the Death Star. And after that, can an op-ed piece on Why This Issue Is Late be far behind?
