Ah, The Shadow. I used to read that while eating at Harry's Burritos in the East Village in the early-90s. Yes, now his name is ringing tiny bells. But still, after reading his sloppy attacks on Chomsky and, at least to my eyes, his acceptance of the imperial framework that justified NATOs bombing campaign in '99 (though he says he opposed the bombing), as well as taking Attila the Hoare seriously, I'm curious what kind of "anarchist" he is. Not that I truly care -- just curious.
