My father was a graduate of Queens College, NYC, which is now a part of the CUNY system.
Edward Said, the fake Palestinian, caught throwing rocks at Jews and then died, lol. His great admirer, Camille Paglia, ended up with egg on her face over that one - and I speak as an admirer of hers.
I too am a fan of Paglia's; however, she has been known to go off the rails, every now and again. I've some of her books and have been reading here stuff for many, many, many decades.
Said was a real POS!
