A while back I chatted with a University of Chicago professor who was a frequent lunch companion of Obama's. This professor said that Obama was as close to a full-out Marxist as anyone who has ever run for president of the United States.

Would the professor's initials be W.A.!

Would the professor's initials be W.A.!

William Ayers is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, a public university, not at the University of Chicago, a private university (founded with Rockefeller money).

Maybe there is a famous professor with the initials W.A. at the University of Chicago, but no one comes to mind.
