Oh, yeah: why don't you ask him to summarize _Capital_ for a 30 second
soundbite for "Nightline"? Summaries of the "story" of Hegel's _Science
of Logic_, Lenin's _Philosophical Notebooks_, Negri's _Marx After Marx_,
and Althusser's + Balibar's _Reading Capital_ in no more than two
sentences would also be appreciated.

I would have thought that you would *read* _Spectres of Marx_ rather than
leafing through it for 20 min. before consigning it to the dustbin of pomo
trash.

Where have all the intellectuals gone?
