A week from tomorrow I travel to New York for the first
meeting of the seminar Todd Gitlin and I will be teaching at Columbia [Todd is
in Chile for a week giving lectures.]
After the class, I shall be meeting Charles Mills for dinner. Charles, I have just learned, is now a
Distinguished Professor at the City University Graduate Center in
Manhattan. Many years ago, I became acquainted
with his work when I served as an external evaluator for his tenure. Charles’ first book, The Racial Contract, is, in my judgment, one of the very best works
of political theory of the last half century. I consider it more important than, but of
course not held in such high esteem as, A
Theory of Justice. Todd and I will
be assigning it in our course.

Good luck on the course. As of now, it doesn't look like you have any students enrolled, but maybe people will audit, or there'll be a rush to register right before the first class.
fingers crossed
Very Nice post!
