[Ditto]

The guy who wrote the article. "Mr. Watson, formerly a professor at New York University and now a fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, is the author of Politics & Literature in Modern Britain and The Idea of Liberalism He is currently completing a history of socialism.

Watson, I believe, is George Watson, a professor of history (or maybe International Relations) at Cambridge University. Really dislikes Commies and socialists. I think he used to write a lot for National Review, but he's getting older now and seems to have quietened down. He's a good guy.
