Why is he a hack? The man turns out a book every year on far-ranging topics. His writings on international affirmative action and cultural migrations are first-rate. He writes a popular syndicated column that is clear, informative and entertaining. He is a true public intellectual. Disagree if you want, but give the man some respect. The Left shoud be so lucky to have a Thomas Sowell. David Shemano
