PONDEROUSLY BAD WRITING. Photon Courier found a Chronicle of Higher Education colloquy using a Richard Wolin commentary (not quite a review) of Ted Honderich's After the Terror (details, including some provocative consumer reviews, or compare prices.) It is difficult to take seriously any writing that perpetuates, however innocently, the distinction between revolutionary and reactionary violence, in particular when it involves a stretch such as linking the nostalgia for the Caliphate with the class struggle because 3,000 people died in the World Trade Center. To his credit, Wolin doesn't buy it either. The moderated comments are worth a look (this one suggests the academy might ask of the populace, "does this conversation induce them to hate us?) and Academic Game both participates and provides a roundup.
