‘The Best Paper Airplane I Never Flew’

Joel Relihan
Professor of Classics

Joel Relihan was the smallest kid on the blockā€”and the most obnoxious, so it helped that he was also the fastest. He has gotten taller and slower since then; less obnoxious, too, he hopes.
He tells a story about a state science fair he attended in Illinois when he was in eighth grade. It involves science, judging, a startled nun, and a paper airplane.
