He did a intro to a book my husband did. It took him a while to figure out my husband was not a fellow traveler to turn the phrase around.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-17699538651586950912011-04-09T08:40:49.210-05:002011-04-09T08:40:49.210-05:00I've read Kirk's academic writings - "...I've read Kirk's academic writings - "The Conservative Mind" and "Academic Freedom." The first a paean to the traditionalism of great writers and thinkers from Britain and the U.S. The second is a screed against the exclusion of education based on the classics from our universities, and the inclusion of "Media Studies on the Representations of UFO's on Incan Pottery."
