This is the first I’ve heard: the rising problem of bullying linked to the biblical Goliath. But it must be true, I read in my birth-town paper. Or at least I read that an expert on the topic made such a connection in his Duluth, MN presentation. Walter Roberts, who’s worked for years with kids as teacher and counselor, wrote a couple of books and word has it that in one he draws on the biblical story of David and Goliath. 
I’m assuming that Goliath’s the bully but don’t know for sure. Duluth, it’s such a sleepy pretty old city on the tip of Lake Superior, that I’m often surprised by its progressive, activist side. Anyway, you can still get in on Roberts’ talk, if you want, and ask him about Goliath for me. It’s tomorrow night at the fancy Radisson — $18… which includes dinner. I love Duluth.
