★☆☆☆☆
sad, pathetic right-wing ranting, fundamentally dishonest
At least Paul Johnson had some wit and style in his The Intellectuals, another screed laying all the blame for what's wrong in the world at the feet of the left. The book does have some moderately amusing snapshots of left-wing nut cases, but when one keeps the magic number of 101 in perspective---over two thousand institutions of higher learning--the "dangerousness" of a few red quacks carries as much potential for harm as the recent "war on Christmas" has on first amendment freedoms.
