Oh, like many prof's the root of all evil was white european men. Arguable when you're talking about the conquest of the new world one can draw that as a conclusion. Anyway, this guy was a throwback hard drinking heavy smoking tenured prof in his early 40's who was busily working his way through the female graduate student body.

It was a neat class - he was a dynamic speaker, really knew the history, and didn't mind if you didn't agree wiht his interpretation as long as you were cogent. I didn't mind his rank communism.

I heard later he married a gal whose family had been early Wal*Mart investors. Irony is tasty as a main dish.
