Conversations with History: Lewis Lapham

[vdst1]

Way too pompous for my ears.

Lapham is a renegade illuminatus.

Mr. Lapham is THE teacher of how to raise one's self in society. He tells the secrets that usually only are taught in upper-class society and schools. I have just bought one of his books -- and it is my Bible! Thank you, Mr. Lapham -- SO much! : )

Laphan , one of a kind: and at Harper's... he answered his own phone: unheard of ......

Harpers magazine makes me horribly depressed, and that's why I love it!

This is Lewis Lapham at his better voice, at least for me. I find him in this very good interview, understandable and enjoyable.

He is a senior statesman of journalism, and the stature of the man's dignity comes through. So does his clear moral voice, entertainingly so for my taste.

But then I always liked Lewis Lapham.

A brilliant and insightful fellow is Lewis Lapham. One never encounters this kind of deep thought in the mainstream media because the media, by it's very nature precludes it... as Marshall McLuhan predicted. To truly understand the world today we have to turn off the tv, read our history and start thinking for ourselves.. as our ancestors did.

Great vid. thanks for posting it
