He didnt say this is true of all intellectuals but he did argue theyre a dying breed. Others said theres many good, interesting voices out there. The point of todays panel is not so much to have a debate about whether he was right or wrong nor have a debate familiar at almost every oha conversation about the role of the public intellectual or should historians be tried to do this. I think most of us in the panel given what we do start and its a good thing for those that what to do it. It has a lot of value. What i wanted to do when i put this together was bring together people who have been doing interesting work and ask them about their lives and their career and experience and give a little autobiography about how this has
Host linda gordon, who is Dorothea Lange . Guest Dorothea Lange was important for target for the period of depression in the 1940s and 1950s.

Host wheres the photograph taken . Guest it was actually taken in california. It is interesting because she was naming and the western u. S.

To read this poem was to be in conversation with a level deeper than who we are, where we are and what our homely words and thoughts and deeds and lives dont mean. Still, enduring merit, until this summer did i even believe in it . Did i simply believe enduring merit could never be agreed upon, that all things are relative and, therefore, can not be said to have merit and their endurance cannot be predicted . If so, i no longer believe it or even remember believing it. These five radioactive books glowed green and dustless among the others. If they are not still read in 100 years, it will mean the cockroaches only survived whatever happened to vegas. There is always more mystery in a closed box than in an opened box. Nope.
