I sent Sowell a copy of my book, "A Patriot's History of the United States." Two weeks later, I get back a new copy from Hoover of "Black Rednecks . . . ." Just a standard, "Compliments of the author" card inside---no inscription, no autograph, no note. Sowell is indeed an odd guy. Brilliant, but odd.
