J. O'Connor on Chomsky

[Barbara Laurence]

I once read an article by Chomsky in a magazine in the dentist's office. He
made a series of claims about Marxism, all of which were questionable. I
wrote Chomsky (who I've met exactly once in the anti-war days), explaining
why his claims were questionable. He wrote back: "I agree with everything
you said in your letter and I wouldn't change a thing in my article." Well,
how about that as a show stopper.

I've been looking for an account that links Chomsky's radical humanism in
politics with his universal grammar and other scientific work. I guess that
the former has something to do with the latter. Anyone know any discussion
of this.
