Almost everything Mr. Wei said about political correctness in his last posting was wrong; and, as a result, he put the wrong hats on the wrong participants. Here is a list of apposite books for him or anyone else to examine to correct his misconceptions; "The Closing of the American Mind" by Allen Bloom "Tenured Radicals" by Roger Kimball "Literature Lost: Social Agenda and the Corruption of the Humanities" by John M. Ellis "Against Deconstruction" by John M. Ellis "The Killing of History: How Literary Critics and Social Theorists are Murdering Our Past" by Keith Windschuttle "The Future of the European Past" by Hilton Kramer(Editor), Roger Kimball (Editor) "The Dark Side of the Left: Illiberal Egalitarianism in America" by Richard Ellis and especially, "Thinking Across the American Grain: Ideology, Intellect and the New Pragmatism" by Giles Gunn - esp. Chapter 9 "Who's Zoomin' Who? Academic Pluralism, Critical Public Discourse, and American Civil Religion". As far as the proposed discussion of Pound's religion, I agree with Alexander Schmitz. It's all over the heavens in Pound and elsewhere; but, all things considered, Pound is probably best described as an "Olympian Calvinist". Charles Moyer
