Yes, he was a nasty piece of work who did his best to damage his country and his university.

I had dinner a few times with Hilton Kramer and his loyal sidekick Roger Kimball back in the 90s. I've always admired Kramer for leaving the NY Times and setting up the New Criterion. His writings are brilliant. But I must say that Roger Kimball is equally good, if not better.

The only thing I miss from this article is some mention of Riverside Church, which with Marble Collegiate for me typifies the type of religious insanity into which the elite mainline churches of the time fell. They have continued to roll in that gutter ever since. You could say that, indirectly at least, Coffin is responsible for Bishop Vicky Gene Robinson of New Hampshire and what he represents. Without people like Coffin clearing his way, Robinson would not have been possible.

I didn't even know that Doonesbury's "Relevant priest who can talk to the young" had died. I pray that God has mercy on his soul.
