About the only one I can think of offhand tho is John Kenneth Galbreath. (sp?)

That's interesting, YD, because Galbraith was one of the first libs I learned to depise.

Galbraithian Philosophy

Galbraith, to Friedman, was a 20th-century version of the early 19th-century Tory Radical of Great Britain. Galbraith believed in the superiority of aristocracy and in its paternalistic authority. These sorts of people -- and they are all too common these days -- deny that the free market should rule, deny that consumers should be allowed choice; and assert that all should be determined by those with "higher minds."

I will have to admit I don't know that much about Galbraith. I do recall him debating William Buckley on "firing line" and thought he seemed like a decent person although I disagreed with his argument.

Many years ago, (I just realized it is nearly forty) he sat beside my sister on a flight from London to Washington. Her husband was a Navy pilot stationed in Washington, and they had a new baby girl. She said Galbreath took the baby and played with her for nearly the whole flight. A really nice man according to my Sister.
