@former CU Press intern He also still has about a book a year published, sometimes more.
@even more debary Or that time he schooled the Pope about Ibn Kahldun. Apparently, His Holiness wasn’t very well read in his Islamic great books so Prof de Bary sent a few his way.
@more debary he also likes to tell stories about the columbia bicentennial (50 years ago) and how he “first read this book 60 years ago”. btw, he says david horowitz was a good student in asian hum in the early 50s.
@chris nobility & civility is easily one of the most professor-quotable classes here. b&w should send a reporter to cover it every week.
@me you mean, Richard the Lionheart.
@pirate and it’s herman wouk’s?
