Walzer on the Left

[Heer, Jeet (National Post)]

I should just add one proviso to my report on Chomsky's best-sellers status.
In Canada as in the U.S., newspaper bestsellers lists are highly selective
and therefore dubious. Newspapers regularly factor out self-help books,
cartoon books and other high selling items. Still, the reported sales of
Chomsky are rather remarkable and (for me at least) heartening.
