when i was an undergrad, a professor friend of mine invited me to participate in a reading group among profs from a number of disciplines. we read controversial books and met at someone's house to discuss them every other week or so. we read, for ex, Elizabeth Fox Genovese's[1], Feminism without Illusions, for instance. i was too young to understand i guess, but I remember them speaking in hushed tones that were respectful--but obviously disappointed--about Eugene Genovese. I would later read about him as an african american studies minor--as an often referenced source. still, i never knew the story...if there is one. why did Genovese become a "former marxist". (for BADdies, does that make him a Marxit? :) I'm a Marxit, you're a Marxit, wouldn't you like to be a Marxit too? digging back deep for that one :)

[1] years later i saw EFG on a public programming debate with one of the profs from my alma mater. Boy, she was rilly rilly homophobic in that debate. yikes.
