Entry for December 27, 2005

Saul Bellow’s son, Adam, was reprising his article for New York on how he became a conservative  to the Young American’s for Freedom on CSPAN.  He traced it to Allan Bloom.  Wait a minute, I thought.  I have been confusing Harold (see December 19) with Allan.  It turns out I’m not the only one.  Camille Paglia has an interesting article in the 1998 Salon explaining the difference. 

I didn’t realize that Saul Bellow wrote the intro for Allan Blooms’s The Closing of the American Mind.  And Adam Bellow has written in favor of nepotism on the Bush family.
