I remember him. I still can't believe I stayed up til 2:00 to see him in Booknotes on C-Span. I wonder what he thinks of his school Howard University, which is 86% black, on diversity.

he's got to come out on the west coast, i'm really interested in seeing him too.  i want to see him lecture at ucla, especially after the uc system repealing affirmative action.

having already been to the talk, if you've already read his book... the talk is kinda redundant. 

well, maybe i should've expected it, since i think the whole point of his talk to was describe his book, hehe.  He did give another lecture when he wsa here that weekend, but i wasn't able to catch it.
