I suppose what's strangest to me is that we give David Horowitz as much
"airtime" as he can handle, when he has so clearly deserted sane principles for
steaming rancor and ugly rhetoric--yet Todd Gitlin, who continues to be
thoughtful if not dogmatic, earns a "who cares." The wrong person is being
ignored, I think.
