This fucking guy was unbelievable. A Brown professor no less.
Having majored in poly sci at Brown (admittedly eons ago) this didn't surprise me one bit. It's one of the reasons I'm sorry I didn't go to nearby Rhode Island School of Design and study glass blowing instead. RISD was enviably artsy; Brown, alas, merely fartsy.
