I met him once, back in the 80s at Harvard.
When people say someone is "brilliant", it is an often overused term.
Dershowitz is brilliant. He was one of the most brilliant men I ever came across. He could speak in great detail about a myriad of topics, he knew facts upon facts, and he could shift gears mentally like a Ferrari.
As brilliant a Jew as he is, he’s been on the wrong side of the argument for a long time. Somehow or other, the Leftist hold on him seems to be loosening a bit.
