Victor Davis Hanson is the guy to whom you are referring. Your colleagues are right- he is terrific! When you get home, check out Real Clear Politics.com (if you don't already), they link to his articles frequently. My son saw him about a month ago at the Claremont McKenna College athenaeum. He told me that VDH was fantastic. On another note, he may be somewhat shy. I personally cannot imagine having to be "on" like that for a week with 400 total strangers (even friendly ones).

I did have the pleasure of hearing Hansen speak yesterday and he is indeed fantastic - he's extremely academic and tends to stuff a lot of complex vocabulary and historical references into each sentence...but after listening to him speak I definitely want to read some of his articles.
