Deidre makes an excellent point about Lucas.  An outstanding MA 
student here at UConn went to Chicago for his doctorate.  He called 
me after taking macro at Chicago to say how grateful he was that our 
Master's course had covered each school in macro--so he had context 
(history) to frame what Lucas was teaching.  He told me it was tragic 
to see that his fellow students understood nothing about the 
different approaches to macro--and many would end up re-inventing 
earlier ideas out of ignorance.
