That is unbelievable!
Ward Churchill is a complete sociopath. People like this pop up all the time; and it's depressing to see how many of them find success through the force of sheer gall alone. If you read the writings of Churchill, it's clear that he's making it all up on the fly. His papers remind me of the papers I occasionally wrote in college when I had procrastinated too long and had to churn something out in three hours with no research.
