Bloom's biggest problem was that he hated rock music, and college kids playing Bolero when they had sex. Whatever. Mortimer Adler thought he was wrong about everything. Don't ask me why just now.That is what they pay and get paid for in the soft sciences at Harvard. Opinions. Gotta have a lot of opinions. Opinions about everything. The more obscure and off the wall, the better. Affectations are prized as well.
Would an example of this elitism be Thursday night's show, in which Dr. Keyes was certain that many of his viewers had succumbed to watching the inane and degrading Celebrity Boxing show?
We agree that there is a lot of nonsense at Harvard. So what? There is a lot of nonsense at Yale, too. So what?
More to the point, there was a lot of nonsense in Allen's hit piece on Keyes. Ted Rall's awful cartoon was worse than nonsense, and Keyes was right to take him to task for it.
Let's try "Making Sense..."
