Doctor's Lynne & Jill

  I don’t recall Lynne Cheney


 being called “Dr. Cheney” very often. She has a Ph.D. in English Literature. Her dissertation was titled Matthew Arnold’s Possible Perfection: A Study of the Kantian Strain in Arnold’s Poetry.” That sounds at least as worthy of respect as Jill Biden’s dissertation...

 “Student Retention at the Community College: Meeting Students’ Needs.” 

P.S. I gather that within academia there are even more rules and competing snobberies on such matters. Physicists think they deserve the honorific but maybe English professors don’t? I’ll leave all that for the commenters below.
