Erwin Chargaff Quotes

And if there were a way to kill people with the B Minor Mass, the Pentagon-Madison Avenue axis would have found it.

The Reverend Douglas Wilson may not be a professional historian, as his detractors say, but he has a strong grasp of the essentials of the history of slavery and its relation to Christian doctrine. Indeed, sad to say, his grasp is a great deal stronger than that of most professors of American history, whose distortions and trivializations disgrace our college classrooms.
