CB : "The eminent University of Chicago anthropologist Marshall Sahlins resigned from the National Academy of Sciences on Friday"

[WS:] Not a smart decision. Those who are absent have no voice.

PS. I am currently reading a book on Weimar Republic ("Germany Tried Democracy" by Halperin) that argues that the rebirth of Prussian militarism and subsequent rise of Hitler resulted, inter alia, from personal animosities and grand standing of the leaders of political factions, especially on the left - resignations were particularly popular. I find it quite self-centered and childish - do these folks really thing that the world will come to a screeching halt when they take their toys and go home?
