[lbo-talk] Science and the Left

[Michael Dawson]

I really like Doug's observation about this topic.  To back it up, I'd
mention that _Monthly Review_ used to have regular column written by Philip
Morrison!  And nothing is more tiresome than the left main schtick on
science -- that it's only one form of "male" knowledge.

Having said this, however, I wonder why you're so kind to Cox, Doug.  This
guy is, to toy with Einstein, 2 percent thought and 97 percent
position-taking.  He has no idea about anything except what he's read, and
even that seems to be petrified.
