Tyranny, sir. The use of tyranny
in American political life.
:18:09
Such as?
:18:12
Maybe...Coolidge breaking up
the Boston police strike,
:18:18
Roosevelt putting Japanese-
Americans into concentration camps.
:18:21
You might consider
the McCarthy business. Hmm?
:18:25
- Sir?
- McCarthy.
:18:27
Senator from Wisconsin?
Ran a series of purges in the 50s?
:18:33
Yes, I'm aware of that, sir.
I was planning a chapter on him.
:18:36
A chapter, I see. Yes, interesting.
:18:41

:19:21
Well, somebody
must know the answer!
:19:28
Tennyson, Alfred Lord Tennyson.
:19:30
You can't compete on a doctoral level
and not know "Locksley Hall".
:19:35
I hope you all flunk! Dismissed.
:19:39
- Levy?
- Yeah.
:19:41
Come.
:19:49
Sit.
:19:55
I knew your father.
:19:59
Rather well, in point of fact.
He was my mentor.
