A very interesting post. The Professor shows a more balanced approach than one usually finds among modern day American Academics. Hence, I have for the moment put aside my normal skepticism and desire to point out the errors in Academic offerings, and am seriously considering the man's points.

Thank you for posting this.

The Professor shows a more balanced approach than one usually finds among modern day American Academics.

Bernard Lewis, although he is a professor emeritus of Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study, is an octogenarian English Jew who originally trained as a barrister and spent WWII in British intelligence. He is thus very far from being typical of American academics.

Exquisitely balanced---like the set of one of the higher-class, old Hollywood period pieces. A place for everything and everything in it's place.

I would try a heavier guage sandpaper, if you don't mind scratching the shiny surface. It might be interesting to discover the source of so much of America's "consensus"--on so many things.
