I must ask myself, do I really care what the "distinguished" M. Higonnet has to say about President Bush or America? Well, no, no I don't. I do have some interest in how a man of such seemingly humble intellect becomes a "leading scholar" anywhere much less at Harvard. A sign of the times, I think.
