@CitizenWald He later became president of Princeton, then almost immediately died from a smallpox inoculation.

@CitizenWald Also, McCloy was a lawyer for the oil industry and was involved in the pressure on Carter to admit the Shah into the country. He was one of the shapers of postwar foreign policy, he was one of the "wise men" written about by Isaacson and Thomas. But he was certainly an odious character.

@CitizenWald Kissinger, David Rockefeller and him were the main people who supported letting the Shah in.

@CitizenWald There's also Alexander Nevsky, which I saw in my college Russian history class. The Teutonic Knights attack Novgorod just like the Germans are about to attack Russia.

@CitizenWald I read about Blarney Blowout several years ago and how UMass tried to end it by having concerts and other events. Is that still going on?

@CitizenWald Nixon was a big fan of Ortega y Gasset. I was reading one of his books, maybe his memoirs, and he wrote about how much he liked Ortega's thought.

@CitizenWald I think Nixon liked Ortega's conservatism, especially in Revolt of the Masses.

@CitizenWald If they're history majors, they should be doing reading on their own in addition to what they learned in school. That's what I did. Of course, that was 40 years ago....

@CitizenWald Well, you're much more accomplished than I am, you are actually a published academic. I don't even have a PhD.
