He has managed to parlay his rightward shift into posts at Boston University, and more recently at Boston College, where he is a professor in the political science department and the founding Director for the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life at Boston College. Not bad for a guy who used to write Marxist textbooks like:
The Seamy Side Of Democracy: Repression In America. New York: McKay, 1973.
Political Analysis: An Unorthodox Approach. New York: Crowell, 1972. With Charles A. McCoy.
The Limits Of Legitimacy: Political Contradictions of Contemporary Capitalism. New York: Free Press, 1977,
amongst others.
