a huge beard. Still as clear as day able to remember dates n everything. Astonishing. A phenomenon, no less. One of the great wonders of our world.

In the Norm video above, he may be 60 or thereabouts (haven't a clue, really). If he had a beard you could count the hairs and compare the number of hairs he has these days (a but like using tree circles) and that'd get you the answer.

One of the worst people in Academia.

On Radio New Zealand, after the Irving trial, she made a point of

firing a shot at Noam Chomsky. I forget what she said, but I remember her tone, and (even worse) I remember that the Radio NZ interviewer did not demur at a single thing she said.

Then there was this, just over a year ago...

… if he really thinks APAC is not harming the US ‘national interest’, then (a) I am not sure whose money he thinks funds the US government, (b) I am not sure he read Bin Laden’s manifesto.

“The effect of AIPAC on congressional votes is .. pretty slight” ..

.. quote from around the 35 minute mark.
